The one with its darkness, the sequel with its salvation.<br /><br />I really liked this and see how you've managed the meter masterfully. Not terribly easy. A real craftsman's piece with an attention to the details of the original. High marks for technique, that's for sure.PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-42955998161299424282010-01-18T19:38:04.800-05:002010-01-18T19:38:04.800-05:00I loved the rythmn to this piece.I loved the rythmn to this piece.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344917148662934359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-77884207207663941542010-01-18T13:38:18.601-05:002010-01-18T13:38:18.601-05:00This rocked!This rocked!JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-21045144094540543342010-01-18T06:37:25.647-05:002010-01-18T06:37:25.647-05:00I'm in agreement with you, ollwen.

With all my fretting over the rythm, I WOULD leave in something obvious like that. . . <br /><br />I am aware of a lot of the subjective bias for/against a form like this. . . but. . . if one is going to do an homage/sequal to <i>The Raven</i>, I think one has to follow its format as close as one can.<br /><br />I do have to say I'm glad of the 250 word limit. I think it would have eneded up long and watered down as I focused on rhyme and meter otherwise.ollwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235752166509157510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-90263489542601923312010-01-16T06:54:17.203-05:002010-01-16T06:54:17.203-05:00With so many published writers mimicking Poe, it&#...With so many published writers mimicking Poe, it's sometimes difficult appreciating the work.
