Two Poems

Jul 17, 2007 10:14

Was wanting to post something from the line-up of 'need to/want to post' docs on my desktop. Am feeling to lazy to go about crossposting drabbles or fics or what-have-you so I took a peek at these ( Read more... )

speckett, beckington, poem

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny. And that's saying something, because AWE mostly killed my Beckett love. I particularly like the quasi-repetition in the bolded lines of "Embers and Ashes."

*runs away before she can be sucked into the Speckett or Beckington ships*

Yay. ^^ Re-inspired Beckett love is always good. I think AWE killed just about everything and anything fans held dear.

AWE...just needs to be ignored, mostly. I mean, that's what personal cannon is for! (James didn't really die! He escaped with Elizabeth and became the ferryman to the dead instead of Will!)

*fires Grovette missiles at Beckington banner*

Or even better- AWE never happened, nor did DMC. It was all a verrrry strange dream dreamt by Beckett (who is actually a plantation owner). Thats my favourite theory. ^^ (Inspired by... whoever it was that wrote that Fair Trade story... Galadhir I think, though I also think there's a good chance I'm wrong...)

*mad Sparrington bunny runs out into battlefield, shrieking* *tacklehugs Sparrington bunny, leaving Beckington banner to burn*

WOW. I think these are the first Beckett-centred poems I've ever read, and they're so good! I like the rhythm in the first one very much, but Norrington's voice in the second is *perfect*. I loved this line in particular:

You were there for me,
Just as I was there for you.

That was so clear and touching. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thank you. *blushes* I've never really considered myself a poet sort of writer, but I was *rather* proud of those two. *cough*

Those are two of the original first-draft lines of that one- it almost ended up called 'There For You'. (random tidbit, I know. ^^)

My pleasure indeed.
