“Ligeia, Annabel Lee, and Berenice, Supernal beauties, pleasing to the eye, Were temporary mates and marble-cheeked Like timeless funerary monuments. Tremaine’s Rowena, Lady Madeline, Insidiously felled and pushed offstage, Had met goth’s Mister Goodbar on the page. First, females got top billed — — then burying. What makes an author kill his heroines? [Source: "Poe and His Women" a poem by LindaAnn LoSchiavo; first published by Bewildering Stories Magazine, 2019]” — LindaAnn LoSchiavo
Ligeia, Annabel Lee, and Berenice,
Supernal beauties, pleasing to the eye,
Were temporary mates and marble-cheeked
Like timeless funerary monuments.
Tremaine’s Rowena, Lady Madeline,
Insidiously felled and pushed offstage,
Had met goth’s Mister Goodbar on the page.
First, females got top billed — — then burying.
What makes an author kill his heroines?
