1827
It's estimated that Poe wrote his first full poem called "O, Tempore! O, Mores!" around 1825, but it was never published during his lifetime. He wrote bits and pieces of verse before that, but that is thought to be his first full writing.
Edgar Allan Poe began writing in West Point, Virginia as an editor. He started writing as an editor in 1836. However, he wrote words on a tombstone ("The requiem for the loveliest dead that ever died so young.") in 1835.

It is not known exactly when Edgar Allan Poe began writing poetry, but as early as 1824 he wrote the words, "The requiem for the loveliest dead that ever died so young." He was 15, and wrote them in memory of a female friend. In late 1824 he wrote the words "Last night, with many cares & toils oppres'd, Weary, I laid me on a couch to rest -." In about 1825, Poe wrote the poem "O, tempore! O, mores!" which was never published in his lifetime but has been attributed to him and published after his death. He first published poetry in 1827 with the book "Tamerlane and Other Poems."

Around 1827 I believe. He joined the Army and started to write poems and short stories while there. When he finally came out of the Army, he started to right tons of poems and stories that eventually became published.

Edgar Allan Poe's first year of writing poetry may not have a clear date. It can be said however that while he was in Boston, he found a relatively unknown publisher, to issue a volume of his poetry in the early part of 1827.
