Well, I imagine the Poe comparison has been done to death with your stuff, but it also reminds me of Browning's "Porphyria's Lover" somehow.

I've read that one. Now that you mention it, I can imagine why you would think so. The meter's about the same, rhyme is about the same, and my poem does echo victorian times.

I'm in good company with Browning and Poe =) I think, like them ,I have a tendency to tell a story in a poem instead of trying to express a feeling. But I can't begin to touch Poe's grandness, English isn't even my first language. It'd take me for ever to make poems as ...shall we say, convoluted as his.
