Annabel - An Ode to Poe

Here is another attempt at visual poetry using a stock photo, Lady By the Sea from hauntingvisionsstock.deviantar… and one of my NaPoWriMo works an Ode to Poe - Annabel (NaPoWriMo - Day 23).

I was honored to have this poem be awarded the honor of best original sonnet for the fourth week of National Poetry Writing Month (NoPoWriMo). While it does sit outside the traditional sonnet format, it does match one of Edgar Allan Poe's sonnet format in one of his more famous works. With Poe being a major influence on me and my writing, this recognition means a lot to me.
