Since it's been a number of months (and because I just finished a song rework that was being uncooperative), I thought I ought to post again.  I hope to have more time for fandom again after the holiday season, but in the meantime, please enjoy the song rework and three short poems ( Read more... )

I tried once to write poems about particular fandom first in russian then in english though the latter was much harder. So I know how not easy it can be and you did a spectacular job with that.
Now about each of the pieces:
I fell in love with From a distance. Not only it fits them so well but the words... I'm still singing 'In him I see a future. Does he look and see his past' again and again.
Parallels were a little hard for me to read/find the rhytm. But the meaning I love it, especially how House pondered what a lesson Chase got from him. The only one he didn't want to give.
Adapting on the contrary is very easy to d while it's much more simple than previous poems it expresses the situation pretty well. How it was one gamble that costed him so much and how the only thing he could do now was to be calm and strong. And one more thing about it: I don't know whether you did intentionally or not but two poems from Chase' POV are different. They are more blunt and tough (I hope I choose the right words to express myself) and there are some repetition in them. Those things alone describe Chase life after the incident very well. It's now a fight for him again and again in circles with only a hope that some day it'll be enough. While those with House are more philosophical and slow. Because there's nothing for him to do except for watching Chase and drowning in his own guilt.
It goes to Around again too. It has an unfamiliar structure for me but that gives the poem its unique beauty.
