"The Raven" By Edgar Allan Poe

This man is beyond crazy to have written works like this, but it's also the only poem I actually like so I can't really judge him. the poem seems to be based around this notion of a raven stalking him and driving him insane. The raven obviously can sufficiently describe many things, but I think it portrays death. Poe has many of his poems based on insanity, death, and sometimes retribution; therefore, I take the raven to describe death creeping up on this man.

"The Sick Rose" by William Blake

well roses symbolize love much of the time so perhaps the poem is about a dying love. Whomever this poem is directed to must have either been dying or falling away from someone. It could also just be about someone dying and the poet saying that the resemble a rose as they die.
