The Raven

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 visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —

Only this and nothing more."

Edgar Allan Poe

an icicle tap

in the middle of nowhere

drips unseen

just as I sit too

unseen by all but me, tapping

letters to the sky

winter's time-

tapping, letters to the sky
