Poe’s Raven. If thy wish is to entreat thee, with a poem so ghastly, beastly, make it known there is a freely written poem of wanton score. With no doubt, The Raven, driven to the edge of conscious reason made a mark of unseen vision thrust into the reader’s core. Will it bore you? Nevermore!

The raven. I love this piece by Edgar Poe. How he was able to portray someone he loved that is dying in the next room while a bird is telling him he will never see her again...what an amazing mind.

The Raven. This is one of my best poems to read in a dark room and sit there with my own thoughts that would scare the heap out of you but my most favorite is Tall Tale Heart

ImOnABoat!!!

I DONT KNOW WHAT I JUST READ. :D. The words were so big and complex, that I wasn't understanding what was happening. Overall, I thought it was a great book. It reminded me of the book " the old lady who swallowed a fly". So many plot twists. I will read this book nevermore!!!!!!!!!!

SelinaTheUnicorn

A piece to interpret your own way. Moving

Missing a word. This poem is incomplete. It is missing the word “word”

Great poem. This was a great poem

I rate books

The Raven. This poem is good for a short story, that allows for quite a bit of optional thinking. When reading poems, I think of what they mean to me, and what the poem could have meant to the poet.

Beat ever. Awwwwwwwww snap

Poop Dictator

Good poem. A classic Poe poem that is an easy read.

WickedMinds

Nevermore!. So dark, so rich, so frightening! Quoth the raven, nevermore! This is a great poem; you feel his pain for Lenore. I'm sure many can relate to this poem.

Sinestrojoe

Nevermore!. A great work of art. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Justin5363

Very deep. I didnt quite understand the meaning of the words because it’s a classic but nevertheless the theme of the poem is good and creative i like the idea of a raven and the symbolic meaning of it. Well done Poe.

Emé Esquivel

Short and Spooky. It was okay. Cool imagery. Spooky-ooky, ya know? Had to read it in a British dialect. Felt like a depressed, sleep-deprived Dr. Seuss. I was like, "is this guy hydrated?". Anyway, it's short -- decent read if you're waiting in line at the DMV.

CrashNSack

Review. I loved it I love all his books I think Tell Tale Heart was the best

Gothic poetry masterclass. Classic is clearly an understatement when it comes to the one and only Edgar Allen Poe, whose dark and somewhat twisted style comes through in this hauntingly beautiful tale of demise and unrequited love.

DanielGoesPlaces

A scary gothic classic tale, truly terrifying. Honestly, this may be the scariest poem of all time. It is scary even now, with movies like the ring and the exorcist, and games like outlast and resident evil. But back in the early 1800s, back when a storm could give a fully grown man a heart attack. This is a classic, a must-have, and it’s free!

Momabarb

The Raven. I've read this years and years ago and a friend recently challenged me to look at it again. Being from Baltimore, the resting place of Poe, I thought I should revisit this classic. What a refreshing look into Poe's tortured soul suffering from his lost love Lenore. Nothing more can be said...classic genius, purely genius, ever classic
