That was beautiful. So symbolic and rich.
I'm a lover of Poe, and I always cringe when I see people making half-assed attempts with his poetry, because no one ever gets it right. I think you did a mesmerizing job with it, though, and captured the essence of the Raven so well. Very well done. And kudos for not explaining all the symbolism within the text-- gives the dedicated reader a gift to unwrap one b eautiful layer at a time.
