I love this poem! Its so well written and the story it tells is fantastic.

Wow! I liked it so much! It was lovely that you managed to describe so many things authors usually write about (teaching, gin, contact lenses, Ginny's help) and rhyme them so nicely! Yay!

God that's soooo cute

oh i adore you for being able to write in rhymes! this was very sweet! and harry's pining for severus was so sweet!

I knew something good would come out of going through my favourites list!

It's really terribly sweet, but has some angst too (and somehow, angst in poetry is even better than angst in prose, which is quite amazing).

This may seem odd, but I was wondering if I could record this and make a podfic out of it? If you'd like to hear my voice before deciding, my livejournal ( dreaming-athena.) should be updated with a podfic within the next couple of days.

This is just beautiful!

This is so cute. I'm definatly sending it to my sister. she likes poetry. even though not all of the verses rihmed it was still good. a lil sappy for my but still!

Wow. I don't think i could have rhymed that much for that long. Points to you. It was interesting.

Super-k.

AW

great poem

[i like poems that rhyme so...*humbs up*]

Excellent!

hey, wow, this poem was amazing! i absolutley loved it! awesome job!

do you think that you could drop by my story and give it a read and review? i'd really appreciate it if you did. D

He he! Really nice. The rhyming was excelent. Well done.

I read this poem once, and now again.

I liked to read it again; you can read it very often

without it getting bored.

This story would be good in story format, too~

I adore it! hehe~

Great! The verse about the Word-of-the-Day calendar, and the lines ‘ I couldn’t make him love me/ simply by trying to/ improve my vocabulary’ were genius! Hehehe.

This bit was so cute:

‘I said I didn’t love you,

but that was a lie.

I can’t live without you,

and I don’t want to try.’

This verse was hilarious:

‘Now, some might want to know

how it came to be

that I was drunk and yet

could speak rationally.’

One wee typo: ‘At the end of the year/ a part was thrown’ (I think you meant ‘party’.

The last three lines were lovely! They made me all squishy and made me go aw!

It made me laugh and cry and smile, it's everything a good poem should be.
