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”.

I give this poem 1 / 5

“Why the Little Frenchman Wears His Hand in a Sling” is a humorous short story written by Edgar Allan Poe 

You need to know that there are some Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems i really don’t care about, and this one is one of these stories i dont care about.

This story is supposed to be a humorous love story of sorts but it wasn’t that humorous as you might think.

This story is also kind of hard to read because of the language which Edgar Allan Poe uses. The language which Edgar Allan Poe uses is a Scottish brough.

To be honest this story shows that Edgar Allan Poe is able to write a “bit of the blarney” that was in his ancestral Irish blood. 

This one was written in a thick simulated Irish brogue which are  depicting the thoughts of Sir Pathrick O’Grandison concerning the circumstances why the little Frenchman Count A.

But also in this one Edgar Allan Poe is trying to sort of “write with an accent” which makes this story to something bad.

I give this poem 1 / 5

The poem praises the beauty of the island Zante.

This one is another short odd poem with some good lines and the gothic style to it. Which in the Edgar Allan Poe is known for.

This poem was for the most part okay and it is worth the effort to read, but it didn’t work for me at least.

This poem is easy and quick to read, which is good.

The writing style is a typical Edgar Allan Poe. Which means that it is beautifully written and it is a short and brilliant read.

I give this poem 1 / 5

This poem refers to Frances S. Osgood, the speaker discusses the chaos and woes of his life, and how they are calmed by dreams of this woman he is addressing.

In my opinion this poem was probably the worst poem written by Edgar Allan Poe.

This one refers to the poem we talked about some days ago, and that last one was a lots of better than this one.

The writing style is bad, and the whole theme isn’t better than the writing style. 

The only good thing with this poem is that it is a quick and easy read. 

I give this poem 1 / 5

The speaker of this poem asks the addressee, “Thou wouldst be loved?” and suggest she stay on her current path to achieve that goal.

So another not so good poem written by Edgar Allan Poe. I read a lots of poems and tales written Edgar Allan Poe, and I know that he was able to do much better than this one.

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

However I need to give this poem points for being short and pretty enough poem, which makes this poem to a worth read. But not a must read.

The whole point of this story didn’t appeal to me as I was expecting.

I give this poem 1 / 5

This poem about the Coliseum in Rome. However, it is metaphorically about ourselves, our past, and our future.

I always wanted to visit Colosseum of Rome and the appeal of this poem makes me want to go there even more. 

This poem was easy and quick to read. But also it is easy to follow.

There were some few parts of this poem which I liked, but the parts I didn’t like were much more of them. And the poem as a whole wasn’t overly memorable or good.

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

I need to say that this poem gets the points for having the gothic and dark vibe to it. 

To be honest here I personally thing that this poem is one of the weakest poems written by Edgar Allan Poe.

I give this poem 1 / 5

This poem is about the angel Israfel who is mentioned in the Qua’rn as having the sweetest voice of all God’s creatures. Edgar Allan Poe ends this poem by stating if he and the angel switched places, he would be the one with the sweetest voice and Israfel wouldn’t sing as well.

This poem is far from a good poem but it also is not a super bad poem. I personally would call it a decent poem, but I know that Edgar Allan Poe was able to do a much better work than this one.

This poem is quick and easy to read. It also involves some great lines in it but that isn’t enough to make this poem to a good poem.

I would say that this poem is worth reading, but it is far away from a must read if you are interested in reading some Edgar Allan Poe if you haven’t so far.

This poem is for the most part written about the angel from the Koran person named Israfel. 

The writing style is far from great, it’s not even okay. Which is surprising because we are talking about something which was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

I give this poem 1 / 5

This poem is about an allusion-rich poem that depicts the poet’s love for an older woman through the image of Helen of Troy. The speaker compares the mother of a close friend, Jane Stanard, to Helen throughout the three stanzas of ‘To Helen’.

This one again is another beautiful love poem from Edgar Allan Poe.

This one has oozed with some dark mixed with moody melancholy which in the end is what Edgar Allan Poe is famous for.

I need to say that in this one there are definite hints and sparks of hope that love can bring.

This poem is a quick and easy small poem. 

The writing style is amazing which is pretty much the only good thing about this poem in my opinion.

I give this poem 1 / 5
