i had some....got rid of 'em.....i've read a lot of Poe....but i hate his poetry....he's awful....just a few weeks ago at my Lit Club someone read a poem by Poe.....afterwards, it was kinda funny, i said "i can't stand Poe's poetry...he's horrible" and everyone agreed with me...i felt bad for the reader, but eh...it happens.....anywho, Poe's stories are good though....my favorite is "Masque of the Red Death"....and "Don't Bet the Devil Your Head"......
but Poe as a poet....ahck!!!!! just about as bad as Sherwood Anderson's attempt at poetry.....or Shakespeare's for that matter......granted, Shakespeare is one of the kings of sonnets, but his regular poetry.....ahck!!!!!!!
writers are funny like that.....like, take Ginsberg for example.....his haiku's are horrible....his basic, standard poetry, and some of his attempts at rhyme scheme, horrible.....his beat-poetry and surrealistic style, fuckin' great man..... I was masturbating
just contemplating
