Coleridge "The Raven"
This poem reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe's in the way that the raven was a symbol of death. The raven in this poem seemed to be trying to live peacefully but soon his life was shaken up and like the narrator in Poe's poem, the raven in this one lost his loved ones and became quite bitter. He got his revenge and that was my favorite line despite it being so morbid. It had almost a nursery rhyme quality to it at first like everything was going to fine and then it got twisted.
