Do me a favor and write a poem about a robot boy with a steel heart that never loved, and when he tried, his heart was so rusty from disuse that it broke into pieces, destroyed his wiring and killed him?
I'd like to see your take on the subject matter. ((*dies* So much love for obscure chars. What was that poem she wrote about the drowned dude?))
It's quite striking. Not having to make something rhyme or scan seems to cut down on the word count quite a bit. You just put down your best lines and it's done.
What a lovely poem! It brightened up my day quite a bit. And I believe I must agree with our membership that a writer such as yourself belongs in Ravenclaw.

((Thanks. Emmeline's one of my favorites. I believe the poem in question was the "Ode to Stephen Dowling Bots, deceased"))

The hands move, the lips move-
Ideas gush from his words,
And his eyes devour!
He is an island of Selfdom.
But if you want to write more, I won't stop you.
