Courted: a dirge (funded!)

[shweta_narayan]

Clarion 2010 has started -- and we've made the funding threshold for Courted: a dirge, with some extra rolling over for the next poem!

So -- here it is, posted a litle early because I'll be in a car at noon.

(ETA: tithenai  darlingly provided the title; I still didn't have one for it as of last week.)

Courted: a dirge
for Amal

When ice -- mere lace on tree

Ooh. Man I love when rhyme schemes look effortless.

Hi, by the by! I friended you a few weeks ago and forgot to say hello. I'm Nicole. We share ToC in CP3. Well met! :D

[shweta_narayan]

Waait I KNOW YOU! I am one of the proud owners of Demon Lovers & Other Difficulties :)

Er, hi! Amal & Claire talk about you so often I hadn't realized we hadn't met :)

[wirewalking]

Heee. Whatever they say, it's every bit of it feelthy lies.

Was midway through typing "Will you be at Readercon?" when I got your comment to the other thingy saying you wouldn't be. Curses!

I'm in California and too sickly for plane flights.

WOW! Love...especially that second to the last stanza. WowowoWOW.

[shweta_narayan]

eee!
Thank you :)

Now I'm cold.

And I normally *like* being cold.

[shweta_narayan]

That's clearly cause you're too far from the fire.

[zwol]

But you see, I cannot *stand* being hot.

(Also the fire comes with the burny death.)

[shweta_narayan]

Well yeah

The next poem will be less cold, assuming it gets funded *hint hint*

[lnhammer]

Niiiiiice.
