Annabel Lee

 

This will be my final entry this month for Valerie's and Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey.  It appears the only poet I am the least bit familiar with is Edgar Allen Poe.  Although mainly known for his short stories, according to Poetry Foundation, his true love was poetry, especially romantic poems.  He often emulated the English romantic poets such as Lord Byron, John Keats, and Percy Shelley.

This is the last known poem created by Edgar Allen Poe.  According to Poetry Foundation, many scholars believe he wrote this for his wife who died two years before he wrote the poem.

 

Also, again according to the Poetry Foundation, unlike The Raven, who the narrator believed would never see his love again, Annabel Lee will be his true love forever.  He even lays at her grave every night.

 

This is my interpretation of Annabel Lee.  And because she has a face, I'm also joining Nicole's Friday Face Off.  

I didn't copy the entire poem, just three of the verses.  Each was a bit different with different tempos.  The Annabel Lee image was a female created on fabric and gifted to me by my shopaholic friend, Kathy, who no longer has a blog.

 

I want to apologized to all those I haven't visited.  I had NO IDEA how devastating this condition (Lupus) I have could be.  I will make every effort possible to visit each person at Friday Face Off this week, even if it takes me all weekend to do so.  

Is anyone else making ICADs (Index Card A Day) this year?  This will be my 12th year.  I'm a glutton for punishment and will be sharing them on my blog, since I'm not on any other social media site.  If you are creating them, please let me know and I will visit your blog.
