Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Poe in Silence

"Silence," a sonnet written by

Edgar Allan Poe did portray

Joy or sorrow that can apply,

And different as night and day.

The sorrowful side of silence seemed

That which Poe identified with.

Stress of fame and riches he dreamed,

Poe felt in silence were just myth.

Silence was time Poe thought how bad

And not good his life had become,

So when in silence Poe felt sad,

Always often, never welcome.

Perhaps the silence his death brought

Gave Poe some joy his life had not.
