1 Samantha Taylor

2 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.”

3 Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore— Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

4 And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!

5 A narrative because it was written by Edgar Allen Poe, an American Poet. It is written in a musical matter.

6 The Raven is representing his loneliness since he lost his girl Lenore.

7 That he misses Lenore a lot. The Raven is always cawing every time he thinks of her.

8 No matter what your loved ones will have a place in your heart. Yes you will miss them but that is a part of life.

9  Alliteration  Couplet

10 I am from Baltimore and so is Edgar Allen Poe. My favorite team is the Ravens so hence the name of the poem caught my attention.
