DMC: "Edgar Allan Poe" by Lana Wayne Koehler




EDGAR ALLAN POE

Edgar Allan Poe
His mysterious death apropos
He wrote of a Raven and wrote about crime
And totally rhymed sublime

  6. Thanks, all. Did you know that Poe lived in Richmond, Virginia and they have a museum dedicated to him there? I've also visited his place in New York City. Fascinating man.
