The Rantings of Edgar Allen Poe
February 17th, 2009 by John Wolfe
I’m not actually referring to THE Edgar Allen Poe, unless of course, he’s communicating from beyond the grave and his chosen method happens to be microblogging at Twitter. Since creating the Season of Shadows Twitter account, I’ve come to enjoy a fellow member posing as Poe’s prose (try saying that ten times quickly). With a combination of wit, sarcasm and the knack to channel Poe’s true-to-life affinity for all that’s dark and gloomy, Baby Poe (as I’ve come to call the member) is pretty entertaining. Here are a few of “his” recent entries:
“My soul is a barren pit that occasionally floods with despair. Otherwise, I’m having a good day.”
“If my step-father had only purchased me a pony as a child, I would have grown-up to write romantic triflings and been wildly wealthy.”
“When I’m feeling low, I often turn to the music of Alice in Chains. Their melancholy stylings make me suicidal. Thankfully.”
“Don’t tell anyone. I egged Stephen King’s house last Halloween.”
If you have a dark sense of humor, then you’ll definitely want to follow Edgar Allen Poe’s updates.
Big thanks to Flickr user – fotopat, for the cool Poe image used in this entry.
