This poem is about being “inspired” by the suffering loss that he felt and the sadness of war. 

The whole theme of this poem is that it speaks about the independence of nature together with its unique world, untainted by humans.

This poem sort of falls into the latter category. I can see why and how some of you might enjoy this one. But for me this poem didn’t work.

This poem is sort of romantic mixed with the dark and gothic part which we all love dont we? 

The writing is good as you can expect from Edgar Allan Poe.

The final line will probably send chills down your spine. 

I give this poem 1 / 5

The poem is about Edgar Allan Poe and his hardships in his life currently. It was written in a time when he had a gambling and drinking problem at the military academy in the United States.

So another poem I didn’t really enjoy. But it was again better than other poems and stories from Edgar Allan Poe which was review on this blog in the past. 

For me this poem was for the most part a way for Edgar Allan Poe to show off his prose without any real point to it.

The writing style was decent and the gothic and dark part was present in this poem. Which I’m very thankful for.

I give this poem 2 / 5

The poem is about a man encapsulated by the varied beauty of a woman. And how the lake is beautiful, for it is just a reflection of her beauty. And just like the river he too is beautiful, for he holds her image.

So we are here again talking about another quick and easy poem from Edgar Allan Poe.

The writing style was pretty okay but nothing to talk a lots about. But I was missing again the gothic vibe in this poem too.

The whole theme of this poem was pretty okay, but still it could have been better. Because I really had a hard time trying to focus on the story. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

The theme is transcendental love–that is, love for a woman so powerful that it extends into the afterlife in its concern for the well-being of the deceased woman’s soul.

So this one is another eerie and delightfully dark poem from Edgar Allan Poe. This poem is also mixed with a little bit of beauty. But still I once again were missing the gothic part in this poem.

The writing style wasn’t that great as in some other poems from Edgar Allan Poe. But I guess that it was for the most part pretty decent. 

There were a lots of times where I personally had a real hard time with trying to understand what was happening. 

This poem is far from Edgar Allan Poe best work but it is worth reading if you are a hardcore Edgar Allan Poe fan.

I give this poem 2 / 5

Guy de Vere cannot weep for his dead beloved Lenore. He gives an elegy in which he berates everyone for loving her wealth and hating her pride, suggesting that people had wished her ill and effectively killed her

This one was a somber poem. But I need to give it points for having the beautiful way into honoured her after she have died in the poem. 

As you can expect this poem is about the sorrow of losing the beloved ones which is pretty much a typical Edgar Allan Poe thing. However this poem is also about the consolation of believing that they left to better place.

The writing style was okay for the most part, however I personally were missing the gothic and dark vibe to it. 

This poem was also kind of like melancholy splendour. Or at least it give that kind of impression when I read it.

This poem is also good to show how Edgar Allan Poe have struggled with the deaths of many women in his life. 

This poem as a whole isn’t that great or it also could be me not liking most of the poems in the world.

I give this poem 2 / 5

The tale is centered on the death of a young girl, named Berenice, and the mysterious visions of her cousin, Egaeus.

So it’s another story where the narrator becomes obsessed with his cousin Berenice’s teeth. Which is a unique take on a stalker story.

It wasn’t scary but there were moments where I was close to having chillis running down my back.

The writing style is pretty amazing. There is a huge gothic and dark vibe to it. Which I love but there is also a Halloween story vibe to it which I also love. 

This story also have an amazing display of symbolism, which I also Im a fan of. 

But the story as a whole wasn’t that good, but the small details in it was actually pretty good.

I give this poem 1 / 5

The story tells of the Baron Ritzner Von Jung who teaches a pompous and sneering duelist a lesson by using his pseudo-learning against him.

So another bad story from Edgar Allan Poem, so here again we are talking about a bad book from Edgar Allan Poe.

I suppose this first-person narrative is called ‘Mystification’ because one of the main characters but I sort of got a shady vibe from it which made the whole story to a bad story.

The writing style was again pretty decent but not the best. The writing style wasn’t good nor bad.

It wasn’t that interesting as everyone on internet claim it to be. Which is why I dont read most of the reviews online. Because they almost always disappoint me when I finally pick up the book.

I give this poem 1 / 5

In an isolated town called Vondervotteimittis (wonder-what-time-it-is), the punctilious inhabitants seem to be concerned with nothing but clocks and cabbage. This methodical, boring and quiet little borough is devastated by the arrival of a devilish figure playing a big fiddle who comes straight down from a hill.

This one was a lots of better than the last story written by Edgar Allan Poe which we talked about couple of days ago.

The writing style was a lots of better, but it was far away from good. But it was okay for the most part. The writing style was pretty much a typical Edgar Allan Poe, but as a hardcore fan I know that he was able of doing a better work than he did in this story.

It was pretty much a simple story. This one was pretty interesting but not that good as a whole. 

This one was also pretty bizarre in a way. But I like bizarre things so i give this story extra points for. 

I give this poem 1 / 5

The story follows an unnamed narrator who seeks out the famous war hero John A. B. C. Smith. He becomes suspicious that Smith has some deep secret when others refuse to describe him, instead remarking only on the latest advancements in technology.

This one supposed to be a humorous pastiche but it wasn’t. It isn’t the first time a humorous story from Edgar Allan Poe wasn’t humorous but rather cringe and sad.

It is a quick read and an easy read. Which are probably the best part of this story for me at least.

The writing style was bad and nothing which you would have to expect from Edgar Allan Poe.

However I need to say that this poem gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase “Used Up”.
