Like Alice down the rabbit-hole I fell into this site quite by chance.
Since being here I´ve experienced Caterpillar highs, Cheshire Cat smiles; met Tweddle Dums and Tweedle Dees, chased prodigal Rabbits and March Hares, sparred with Queen of Hearts and dined with Mad Hatters.
A Walrusmile with extended tusks alights my face as I recall these like pearls among the oysters, the wealth of generosity and insight I´ve absorbed in this sojourn so far.

    Cheers Mr G!

    Though unworthy of any just comparison with the southern gentleman you mention, it would unlikely have occured in such fashion without early immersions into that fabulously troubled author´s inscribed world.
    Though may I say I find Sheridan Le Fanu to be the apotheosis of the Gothic genre in prose at least.
    As to the faint echo of Poe reiteration (as in The Raven) each 6th stanza line attempts to reflect the intitial opening line.
    Each stanza shifts dynamics in rhythm as in a song (aswell as mood like J.Cash´s Walk the Line).
    Essentially this is a lyric (soon to be released on CD) with Gothic-poetic pretensions and a willful disregard for syllable counts.
    Only the final stanza alternates structurally from the others in that it possesses 8 lines and shifts dynamics and mood halfway through.
    Thanx again, mate.

    Cheers Oxymoron270!

    For your kind and cogent comment.
    Music has been put to this and its being released on a compilation CD called "Miniatures" out in a month or two.
    Appreciate your compliments as to the perspicacity of the verse and accept criticism as to the lengthiness of the trochee-entrenched weak-ending rhyme conceit throughout.
    But that in this case is the metronomical imperitive driving the rhythm and it warms to hear that the rhyming drops into the background and waxes sub-rosa (so as not to spoil the atmos too noticebly).

    Cheers
