LOL I actually have a raven decoration sitting up on the entry to my living room. It looks like a real bird and freaks people out when they come in my house   |

Poe was my first brush with the darker side of humanity. I fell in love with his works at the ripe old age of 9. The next year on my birthday, I literally caught a young Raven and taught him to say "nevermore." I had to have his tongue clipped to enable him to speak as it is with all ravens and crows. My birthday present was the vet bill paid for by my late grandmother, who by the way introduced me to Poe a year earlier. He was young and easy to teach. In his lifetime he had learned over 30 words.I miss him and my grandmother alot and think of them often while reading Poe. Thanks for letting me vent on your post, I hope you don't mind. It has been a long time since I've run into anyone who felt about Poe the way that I do. Graci, Woodshed  |

I wore my raven necklace in his honor. I don't go for poetry because it is so personal and at times difficult to understand, but I have liked Poe since I was in school---a long, long, long time ago.  |

Poe taught me the word "tintinabulation" (spelling?), and for that I'm forever grateful. It's from the poem about the bells: "...the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells..." I had to recite it in front of the class in junior high school, so it always sticks in my mind. Few stories have scared me as much as "The Black Cat." Happy birthday, Edgar!  |
