Being Poe, this one borders on unhealthy obsession (plus, Annabel is, well, dead), but the cadence has always haunted me, sounding like the waves rolling onto the shore.
#HalloweenPoetryMatters #Day11 #Ghost A lot of Poe‘s poems are about death, spirits & angels. I highly recommend the album Closed On Account Of Rabies where people like Iggy Pop, Christopher Walken, Marianne Faithful(who reads the above poem)& the best, Jeff Buckley reading Ulalume. With music & sound effects, it‘s gothic, creepy & chilling. And on Spotify or YouTube I believe! #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts
Thank you for all of your condolences. I‘d respond individually, but I‘m just tired and sad today. I‘m lacking the motivation for a creative book photo or writing something book related. Annabel is the third ferret I‘ve had to put down in less than two years and it‘s never an easy thing. She was a wonderful pet and

You held on for such a long time
So much longer than we‘d expected
You shined while you were fighting
to give us what we did not deserve
I‘m sorry you had to suffer
just so we could cling to you a little longer
Thank you for all you gave us
You can rest now, Annabel

“To love and be loved by me” 🤍 #EdgarAllanPoe #Poetry #AnnabelLee
pickI first read this on iPoe, an app that's a bit like an interactive graphic novel, and I fell in love with this poem. So beautiful and dark.
Annabel says, #lovemenow!
Okay, she is not a book but she was named after Poe‘s poem Annabel Lee and today is her 5th birthday so it counts. 😉

This is the last complete poem by Poe.
It‘s about (from Wikipedia) ‘The narrator, who fell in love with Annabel Lee when they were young, has a love for her so strong that even angels are envious. He retains his love for her even after her death.. There has been debate over who, if anyone, was the inspiration for "Annabel Lee".‘

Miss. Annabel Lee has been taking up a lot of time. Trying to get her acclamated to her new home and new siblings, I haven't really had much time to read. She is doing well though and I couldn't have asked for a better cat. #booksandcats #rescue #stray
So my roommate found a stray cat on the parking lot yesterday and brought her home. I thought long and hard about keeping her and decided that I was going to. She is the sweetest most loving cat and took to me immediately. It was meant to be. Her name is Annabel Lee. #booksandcats #minipather
✨For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; ✨

Day #3 of my 7 days of Poe... 😛
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee...
Part of my infatuation with Living Dead dolls. Yeah, I‘m a grown man (my wife questions that), and I play with dolls, OK? 🤫 Fortunately, I purchased this a while ago, before the value shot through the roof. 🚀 Mezco only made a few dolls about real people. 😉 That little Poe figure in front is possessed. He knocks down books..
1. Jane Eyre & Mr. Rochester - because they accept each other for who they are
2. "Narrator" and Annabel Lee - because "we loved with a love that was more than love"
3. Snape & Lily - Always

One of my many E.A. Poe tattoos (I‘ll post my other Poe tattoos later). Yes, I AM a Poe fan! 😁 This was the first tattoo where I gave the artist full control, and I had no clue what it was until she finished. I didn‘t even peek. 😍 That‘s the top of Annabel Lee‘s head at the bottom of the photo.
We loved with a love that was more than love. - E.A. Poe, Annabel Lee (one of my favorite lines ever). #poe #annabellee #edgarallanpoe #tattoo
pickSo exquisite and bittersweet is this poem, it's beautifully written and quite romantic in a tragic sense.
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
#lostloves #jubilantjuly
It was so many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
- Edgar Allan Poe

RIP Poe socks. 😭
YOU CANT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITHOUT HIM...#scaretober #HelloOctober #booknerdforlife #imallbooked #booktober #inmyownworld #shuttingoutreality #romanticism #lacma #museumfun #halloweenfun #myreadinglife
I think this poem is kinda spooky and sad. It seems appropriate for #allhallowsread to me!
Okay, I might be obsessed, but here are some more DC Poe finds! On top is a grave I happened upon this morning in the Congressional Cemetery, and the bottom picture is of a custom needlepoint kneeler in Washington National Cathedral! 💀 Kramerbooks haul to come later tonight....
Poe socks from Out of Print in honor of the anniversary of the passing of my very favorite author Mr. Poe. Along with my tattoo, dozen of shirts, kindle case, my whole living room, etc. etc. #edgarallanpoe
That time I met Poe. (Haahahhahaaaa!) Last October, my library had a viewing of The Black Cat and had a couple of local teachers and librarians read some of Poe's work. They gave out magnets that said, "Once upon a midnight dreary..."
But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
In the spirt of @MrBook and @BookBabe ...dinner! Turkey burgers with Swiss, yellow mustard, and a bread & butter peppercorn pickle from the farmers market with some mixed veggies. The real star is this Annabel Lee White Ale! It was 80% a label buy, but definitely worth it. Crisp and refreshing like most wits, but perfectly autumnal. Also just proud 'cause this is one of the first times I've cooked a real meal in months.
I see that quite a few of you are venturing into horror this month and some are reading (re-reading) Poe. I wanted to make sure y'all were aware of this great bluegrass version of Poe's Annabelle Lee. https://youtu.be/IvJswSzfE70
When Flounder is feeling homesick, he reads his favorite poem set by the sea! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge *actually just using this as an excuse to juxtapose Poe with an adorable plushy*
"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams, Of the beautiful Annabel Lee" ❤ one of my all time favourites
