When the name, emerging from
Gothic candle shadows,
Became familiar,
It all started to
Shuffle into place:
A time, a plot, a face.
The garrulous
Be afraid parrot
Becoming the One-phrase raven.
No surprises there.
So … why am I
Going back to that well?

Very intruiging piece, it makes the reader think of a story or connect the dots.
Thank you, have just been reading the novel, The American Boy … this piece (hardly a poem) came from that.
Do you know the book?
Poe?
I heard of the book yes, but it is unavailable in my country, both the riginal version aswell as translations. I always admire foreigners, for their vast access to books!
One-phrase raven.. Love it.
Sorry for eavesdropping on your comments, but i must agree, Poe is superb.
Eavesdropping ?
Doesn’t worry me at all.
Reading the novel I was struck by the way the writer alludes to certain Poe scenarios (but got distracted from the plot by “spotting” these instead of following the plot)
🙂
Always the case with me too 😀 daydreaming and getting side-tracked with thoughts haha.
Some good – and some crazy – sights on the way there and back, would be a shame to them!
The journey of to and back is a very exciting one!
this is so evocative- I really like it. Ravens & wells are two of my favourite things.
