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!
