Okay, so, normally I write poems and I agonize over them for months and months and then I show one person and change 15 things and close the document again and go back to it a month later and, you know, rinse and repeat. THAT IS MY TYPICAL PROCESS. But sometimes, for whatever reason, a poem goes HEY HI HELLO WRITE ME NOW KTHNX and pours out of me ( Read more... )

Okay, so, it has been (*checks*) four months and change since I put up the first Inspiration Meme, which you guys should go check out; that post contains 300+ comments full of gorgeous poetry and beautiful pictures and fantastic song lyrics.

The people have voted and whatnot and the first part of TA!Holmes: The Sequel (not the actual title) will go up tonight after I eat something. But first, uh. First a weird little not-quite-poem thing!

So, first asimaiyat took William Carlos Williams and MADE HIS MOST FAMOUS POEM INTO A FABULOUS WHITE COLLAR FIC. And this filled me with such glee that I was forced to take an old classic, Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, and, uh, twist it to my own dirty OT3 ways:
