Lenore

"Lenore" said Poe, Edgar Allen,
Aside the Black Ship's railing beside Ishmael,
Looking out over the black waves.
"Dulcinea to us." said Ishmael.
Poe gave Ishmael a wry look,
And listened to the Raven on his shoulder croaking in his ear.
The Ravens and Gulls were back in the rigging,
And the crew returned to their knees
Cleaning and polishing the Black Deck.
"The one Black Dragon captured Lenore...
From Nemo and the Nautilus..." said Poe.
"Nemo!?"  What of Ichi and his craft?" asked Ishmael.
Poe lent his ear to the Raven.
"Ichi traded Lenore to Nemo for treasure, and a new crew for his craft. 
They rode the waves westward, with Lenore's Dolphins, and blessings."
"And where to the Black Dragon with Dulcinea?" asked Ishmael
Poe paused to listen to the Raven.
"To the South, to the Land of Lost Loves, Nevermore... 
Wait...there's more..." Poe continued,
"Ravens Huginn and Muninn have eyes on the Dragon, and pursue..."
"And so we have, and so we will!" Ishmael called to the gathered crew.
