Oh that is so nice.... I think this is the first thing I've read from you. Lovely. I like that line

for where he goes, she follows.

Very different too. :)

Thank you! I was pretty nervous about this - poetry's not really my forte. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.

I am very, very impressed! Wow! Poetry! The rhymes are good and the rythm is pretty near perfect.

It's sort of creepy too ... and I liked but was afraid of:

All happy are, and good and true -
and dull and dim and sane.
So quills are dry and parchment cracked
since Voldemort was slain.

Post-DH fandom? ;)

Well done!

Thanks so much for saying such encouraging things. Poetry feels like much more of a risk to me than prose, and I'm so glad you think it came off.

Yes exactly - part of this was prompted by a comment someone made on one of my fics a while ago about what stories people might write after book 7.

Very interesting! I applaud you for taking on such a daring thing - using the original format and making it fit. Very nicely done. I loved the idea of Harry and Ginny wanting to restore 'magic' to their world and how the rest of us can now write about it, thanks to the 'ink' of Annwn.

Thank you! I thought it was an interesting thing to think about - what gives writers inspiration.

Thanks so much. I did struggle with the verse form so it's nice that it seems to have come off.
