Wow. They are so powerful and so... so... goosebumpy.

I loved the one of Ginny from Molly's POV because it reminds me of what my mum is like to me.

Thank you.

Oh, my, Antonia - those are so powerful!  Beautifully written.  I loved each of the three perspectives you wrote, but I in particular loved the first, by Arthur.  Just lovely.

*Sigh* I love this Antonia. It doesn't matter how often I read it, it still chokes me up. You've captured the characters and the relationships so completely that it awes me -- seriously. You are clever! I love it, it's so sad and there's still a bit of hope that runs through it. I think I like Ginny's best! Though it's hard to say, all three of them are brilliant.

Wow.  Excellent job.  You're an amazing poet, and you really hit Arthur, Molly and Ginny perfectly.  40 points to Gryffindor.

*chokes* Antonia, that is beautifully powerful. Perhaps it's not quite true with the stanza, and the iambic pentameter, but that's stuff you learn in English, so who cares. This has soul, and I love it. Especially Arthur's. You may have inspired me... maybe.

*gulp* Big, BIG lump in the throat here. So much emotion and all so beautifully expressed. I'm not sure I could pick one out to say which I like the best... perhaps Arthur's has a special poignancy for me, since it clearly shows the depth of his feelings and understanding of his wife.

Beautiful, achey and succinct, each of them. Very well done Antonia!

These are all very touching and dripping with emotion. I like how you took a snippet from the book and turned it into a poem.  I especially like Ginny's. It was very poignant. I would be happy to read more poems by you.

Thank you very much for the lovely review.  I like the line 'dripping with emotion.'  That's a massive compliment!

These three poems are absolutely brilliant!  It's really nice to get into someone else's thoughts and the one that really got to me was the first one through Arthur's eyes...especially the last line about him loving her all the more for it.  I like the second poem for another reason: my own son is just three, but it seems only yesterday that he was a tiny little thing and I keep wondering where the time has gone.  Your poem shows me that Molly is dealing with the same sort of thoughts, too.  Thank you for posting these.  They are a treat to read.

Thank you very much for the lovely review, I'm glad you enjoyed the poems, and that they struck a chord.  I'm very fond of Molly and Arthur, and it's fun to write through their eyes from time to time.

Wow. Well done, Old Bean.  The scansion was very well done and the content provacative.  I look forward to more in our newest section from you!

Thanks,  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  The credit for it scanning goes to Mistral, who was very good at pruning it.  We found out that things scan differently with different accents, though, so I hoped it doesn't sound too out to non-Brits!

These were touching and well written.  I felt like there was a song behind them, but perhaps it's because I've been playing with lyrics lately.  I loved the ending of the second one.  And the first one made me want to give Arthur a hug.

No, no song.  I don't quite know where they came from, but they started with Arthur's POV.  The line 'tears glisten on your cheekbones ...' was what started it off.

I like the thought that Molly has thought about Harry and Ginny at some point getting together and approves.

Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks!  I love the 'lucky you' line.  It's such a great Ginny moment.
