Masquerading Poet
On the night of Halloween
Poemist didn't want true identity to be seen
Chose a mask of Poe's resemblance
In spirit of the poets remembrance
First door he knocked on received strange candy
A box of black crows licorice from the host
To show he didn't appreciate the mockery
Removed mask to reveal he was Edgar's ghost
