“Poe’s Secret Garden” by Bambi Chicque

Poe’s Secret Garden
I know of a secret place
One Poe found within his inks
The plague was just one clue…
To find peace under a roof and beyond the wind
Turn every corner with awe and regard
To treasure your neighbors whilst they are here
For in return your legacy shall be sward in honor
Year after year.
Poe knew the misfortunes of those who were plagued
And framed his stories without cerfew not so vague
The favored mask of beauty graced one and all alike
No shaming or gossip spoiled those of Venezia
Proving to usher all folks unruffled simply as one.
So Poe wrote stories of mystery, art and macabre
With much impact on American and international literature.
“My whole existence has been the merest Romance,” Poe wrote,
the year before his death, “in the sense of the most utter unworldliness.”
Sadly he didn’t really turn his pen into grand profit while he still lived,
But he has surely left us his legacy as we forever love him for
His poems, short stories and, of course, The Raven for one.
And we dress in our masks and put on lavish charades
Where to relive our passions from his etching of words
With the chronicles and journeys how he kept our minds at play
He surely had his own secret place in his mind and all his way.
So, I found it in my own measure
and captured a piece of his thoughts
I hope you enjoy this for yourself
It’s Poe’s Secret Garden
Never to be forgot.

It’s quite late and I finally finished this photo I took yesterday morning
with more amazing creations from a handful of our
precious Designers in Second Life!
The Secret Affair ended today, but the memories
of all their detailed construction of Edgar Allan Poe’s
recognition through their craft
will fill the pages of the net,
And of course, Flickr, too!
