The darkness looms <br />Evil blooms <br />An effervescent aroma <br />Fills the air <br /> <br />An onomatopoeic sound <br />Fills one’s ears <br />Upon delivery <br />The bouquet of death <br /> <br />‘Tis Edgar Allen Poe <br />Reciting verse <br />His shadow growing darker <br />In crescendo <br /> <br />The tolling bells <br />Need no rehearse <br />Their end result <br />Is inevitable<br /><br />Marcus McKinley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/resonating-words/
