Do u think that the poem The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe is a literary joke. Argue?

I think it is one of the greatest poems ever. I think people focus too much on the horror part of it and less on the more subtle philosophy behind the poem. The poem is about loss (the narrator's Lenore) and grieving (the raven) and how the narrator, and humanity in general, copes with the feelings of loneliness and loss.
