Edgar Allen Poe

Well I'm not completely sure what Poe is trying to say in his poem, but I think it may have something to do with the feeling of letting a dream go. I came to this conclusion when he talked about the fear of his hope floating away. But I really like the way he writes. You really have to read deeper into his words and can't just focus on the surface meaning. So a challenge is always nice. [All done]

  1. This is what I got from this poem as well. Poe's poetry is so different. It's nice. :]

  2. I agree Poe's poetry is always a good read (and a challenge!) He never means quite what he says...

  3. This poem was confusing for me too. Nina helped me decifer it. (she's a big Poe fan!)
