Poetry &mdash; E is for "Effervescent" https://eleeshing.writeas.com/tag:Poetry Thoughts, and then some. Sun, 26 Apr 2026 15:20:27 +0000 feat. Poetry: The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes https://eleeshing.writeas.com/feat?pk_campaign=rss-feed <![CDATA[As much as I like writing, I have never really felt strongly towards poems. I know it's supposed to flow better in terms of sound, and have a better, concise, delivery because of its brevity (as compared to writing such as this), but it rarely encapsulates my soul. There are a few gems I've found tho, one if which is Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman. I must have read this when I was in high school - during the phase where my (and probably everyone's) hormones were just looking for adrenaline and romance in every turn... or page. This particular poem encapsulated all the wild romantic fantasies I've ever read, all in just a few verses. It has a The Princess Bride feel to it, but a touch bit darker.
