Questions and own poem

Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston on January 18, 1809.

His parents were actors, so they constantly moved from country to country, so he was never in a very normal family environment. After a while father David abandoned them because of his addiction to alcohol, so the mother became responsible for him, his brother and the baby that was on the way, after the baby was born on December 8, 1811 the mother died , eliza, tuberculosis and three days later her father dies.

Edgar, when he was only two years old, was separated from his siblings since he was adopted. His adoptive family was the Allans, father John Allan was a relatively successful merchant, as time went by his relationship with his parents deteriorated to the point of hating them.

When Edgar wanted to go to university he needed money and he asked his parents but they refused to help him.

Edgar began to gamble to get money and the only thing he achieved was to get even more indebted.

Edgar left his house in search of his dream that

was to be a poet, however his plan failed, at the age of 18 he edited his first pamphlet called "Themerlane and Other Stories" but it went so badly that in his desperation in May 1827 he enlisted in the army.

To avoid being found out by his creditors, he registered

under the

name of Edgar A. Perry and turned out to be such a good soldier that he quickly rose to Sergeant Major. When he still had three years left, he got bored and asked for permission to enroll at the West Point American Academy, but his request was denied..

The condition was that he fix the problems with his father Allan, at first the father refused but then after the death of Francis Allan's wife, he agreed to help Edgar enter the academy. Allan lasted only 8 months inside the academy, since he was sentenced to negligence of duty for attending a class naked. After West Point Edgar moved in with his aunt Maria Clemm, sister of his late father, David. His aunt was very supportive of his dream of poetry, so he left Baltimore to work at Soulthem Literary. On May 16, 1836, Edgar Allan Poe married Virginia, his first cousin, who was 13 years old. The true reason for this relationship is unknown and has been debated for years by historians.

The alcohol problem was so serious that the editor who hired Poe had to fire him.

Edgar became an alcoholic just like his father and was known for his drunken binges.

The publisher agreed to hire you back in October 1836, keeping the job dependent on your sobriety.

In January 1845 Edgar published a

narrative poem called "El Cuervo" . Although Edgar already had a solid reputation, he had not had many successes, but "El Cuervo" changed his path.

The poem

was very successful and made Edgar famous all

over the world, he was invited to the most exclusive clubs

in NY, but the following year it Edgar tired of poverty resorts to trying to marry a widowed poet named Sarah Helen Withman, but she rejected him, then he went in search of his other possible love Annie Richmond but she was already married..

He again tried to propose to Sarah Whitman and finally got her to agree to a wedding on Christmas Day. Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7, 1849, Poe's cause of death is still unknown. Edgar left a great mystery not only with his life but also with his death.

Today that I don't have you close I'm dying to feel you, today that I don't have you close I'm dying to tell you that I love you, today that I don't have you wax I'm dying to tell you that I miss you.

But today that I don't have you around I can be free, I can be happy and I can say to life, my life, thank you for not having you around.

Poetry is important since it can be used in many ways to express yourself, if poetry did not exist, perhaps it would lack that touch of romanticism and intrigue to life.

I am sure that my favorite part of the poems is trying to discover what was the feeling, thought or situation that was being experienced at the time of writing the poem, it is usually something very deep and interesting.
