The poem is a bridal song about a man who overcomes his sadness by marrying the beautiful Eulalie.

For the most part it was a decent poem from Edgar Allan Poe. However it is far from his best poems. 

I had sort of hard time with connecting with the story in this poem, and with the poem as a whole thing.

As someone who have read almost every poem and short story written by Edgar Allan Poe I need to say that I prefer much more when he writing about specific topics. 

In my opinion this poem didn’t have the gothic vibe which almost every poem and short story to Edgar Allan Poe has. Which really takes the wind out of this poem.

I give this poem 2 / 5

The writing style in this one was amazing let me just say that at the beginning. 

The whole story behind this poem was kind of boring and it took me awhile to even understand the whole story. 

The ending was good but the beginning was the opposite which is of course is bad. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

This one describes a speaker waking and dreaming state and the brief moments of light and hope he experiences. The speaker begins this piece by introducing a dark dream that he was subject to. This dream, and the emotions he experienced during it, are not unfamiliar to him.

This one was another one written by Edgar Allan Poe which left me very conflicted when I was about to write this review.

I didn’t like it at the beginning when the story was just starting out, but I liked the way this poem came together at the end.

Its an interesting read but somehow I just couldn’t bring myself to give this poem a higher rating.

For the most part this whole poem is about the difference between dreams and reality. Dreams are joyful and full of hope; reality is dreary and painful. Dreams are warm and sunny, the reality is cold, grim and dark.

The writing style was on point with Edgar Allan Poe, which means that it was very good. 

This one is for sure a must read for anyone who calls themselves a “Edgar Allan Poe fan”

I give this poem 2 / 5

This is a devotional sonnet in which Poe describes his feelings for his own mother and the mother of his wife. … This woman is more dear to him than his own mother, mostly due to the fact that she is responsible for the creation of Virginia. It is through her that his heart was filled.

To be honest this one is a e beautiful and sincere ode poem to Edgar Allan Poe’s mother-in-law.

For the most part this is a pretty decent poem. 

The story behind poem is the best part of this whole poem. 

This poem at the beginning is amazing, but then it starts running down hill.

The writing style is pretty poor but there are some good lines and parts. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

This one  is more than a metaphysical thought, but also speaks to the reality of the moment. Deep in earth is where we console ourselves that our loved one’s body is safe. But in reality, deep in earth is simply a way to take the waste of life from our sight.

This one has only 2 lines which is pretty much the shortest poem in the world. But it also makes this one hard to review because of its shortness. 

This poem needs to get points for having only 2 lines but still being able to pack a punch with their directness and simplicity.

I give this poem 2 / 5

This one describes the role of “Annie” or Nancy Heywood in the poet’s life when he was struggling with the fever called “Living”. This long poem written in the praise of “Annie” presents how the poet felt before his recovery from his mental agony.

For this one I really had mixed feelings about this one but also to the entire poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. 

I enjoyed read this poem but it wasn’t that good as you might expect. 

However I need to give this poem points for pulling you into the poem and leaving it lingering in your mind once you finished. 

This one is a perplexing love poem that sort of makes you think. 

The writing style was pretty decent but as someone who have read almost every short story and poem by Edgar Allan Poe I need to say that he was able to do a better job.

But as someone who calls himself “Edgar Allan Poe fan” it is a must read as any other poem and short story.

I give this poem 2 / 5

A satirical tale, the story is narrated by Mr. Lackobreath who recounts his attempt to find and reclaim his lost breath, which he had literally misplaced. Throughout his journey, he is repeatedly dismembered and disfigured, falsely assumed to be dead, hanged, locked away, and prematurely interred.

This short story is sort of ghoulish and absurd during the entire story. 

This one is sort of a story that throws together experiences to leave you hooked and curious to see how everything plays out.

The writing style is for the most part the best thing about this story.

However the moment I thought that Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and poem cant get any weirder than I come across this short story and I get surprised.

To be honest this story is a nonsensical short story.  And it is sort of an unusual little story.

I give this poem 2 / 5

Edgar Allan Poe’s combination of stories about the freaks of a mad ancient monarch and the caricatures of a nineteenth-century king of France is a happy one; the result is one of the best of the tales of the grotesque. The cardinal idea is the baseness of the ancient mob — shared by its modern counterpart.

It’s another short story from Edgar Allan Poe which you can read in 15 minutes or so. 

This one was very strange and very hard to review or describe without mentioning any spoilers.

This one was for sure very unique. But to be fair every Edgar Allan Poe  is sort of unique in a way or another.

For the most part this story was boring for almost the entire story. But it this might be because it was way too short and it would be better if we got more story into it and not just the brief view of the story.

I give this poem 2 / 5

Hans Pfaall, a bankrupt bellows-mender from Rotterdam, thinks up an ingenious scheme to escape from his dreary existence

This one was for the most part way too detailed with the scientific information and a lots of numbers which was boring because of the way Edgar Allan Poe have presented this to us.

The ending was the best part of this whole story because of the way Edgar Allan Poe at the end presents the entire story as hoax and nothing more than that. 

The theme of this story was awesome. But the way it was presented to us was not that awesome. 

If you are like me you will also kind of get annoyed at the callousness of the protagonist with the animals he took together.

There were times where the story was interesting but parts where this story was boring was more frequent. 

I give this poem 2 / 5

The story is told by a Demon, who sits and observes the actions of a solitary man in a desolate, terrifying land. Through the tale, the Demon attempts to provoke a reaction in the man, detailing his manipulations of the hellish, nightmarish landscape around the man.

This one is kind of pretty hard to review because I had really hard time connecting with this story and make up my mind if I liked it or not.

This story was about a demon and a human talk in some enchanted land. And the demon seems to change without any reason. 

For the most part the writing style is fine but Edgar Allan Poe was able to do a much better job than this one. 

The moral itself in this story wasn’t quite so clear as in the rest of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and poems. 

It isn’t scary but it is sort of haunting tale in its own way. 

For the most part it is an enjoyable, quick and interesting.
