    Ahh! I had to comment this one! I love Edgar Allan Poe! And using the raven was an awesome idea! This is just great!!!

  • Paul Compton replied

    Thanks Tara. My favourite Poe poem is a lovely poignant one called The Lake: To-

    My overall favorite Poe work is the story of The Pit and The Pendelum. And I love the old movie starring Vincent Price. It is surely a classic. Nice to have something in common.

    I was gonna say : He is in his stance ‘ready to play’ but then I saw the ‘notes’ floating and knew he had already started :o) I see his window and his flower have had better days :o) Enough of great things noticed in the BG, the little character is the star of the show – ‘very Addams Family’ in the negative scale of cuteness – if you see what I mean. Love the bookshelf with the skull and the unusual piano your little friend has. Have I said that its a great perspective view of the room he’s in. Thats all folks !

  • Paul Compton replied

    I love your comment, thank you so much for noticing the details. Best wishes to you : )
