He wrote in both formal and free verse poetry. His poems were very lyrical and flowed together though not all of them rhymed. His influences were his life experances. I don't know who he admired. He wrote about death and more serious topics like that.

Poe admired the Romantics (no, not the characters from Dawson's creek), like Shelly and Wordsworth. I think he also admired Charles Dickens. His rigorous criticism of his contempories made him an unpopular boy...
