This is from @drown upon finishing Morningstar... a lovely poem. 

I'm just very happy right now and I wrote this for you:

Beneath the stars, where whispers heal,
Kellar’s touch turns wounds to steel.
Tobyn, his flame, fierce yet kind,
Guides his heart, his soul aligned.

A healer’s howl, a guardian’s light,
Together they pierce the velvet night.
Through shadowed trials, their spirits blend—
Alpha and mate, no storm can end.

Very nice. Fits the story concisely.

Regarding poems from above, I really like them. But not as standalone things for me. I seem to be able to fit the voices (real voices) in my head into such a form. Doing it as an homage to a work I like? Sure!

It looks like this in my head:

But I do like to intersperse some poems in my writing, just to… mystically foreshadow things that are going to happen. It's a very blunt device, and I deserve no praise for it. But I fear people are not reading them properly. They basically reveal it all and prove I actually do have a coherent plot that is working towards an end. 😂

I love poetry... I love writing it and reading it. I have four collections on GA, some very personal, and some just needing to get out. There is a kind of poetry that annoys me, the obtuse kind that makes me feel talked down to, yet I still applaud the effort of those. Poetry is an amazing release for me, and I have many poems that are written but not posted... too too personal. 

I wrote and posted a couple of poems about characters in "Cards on the Table", but they were not included in the story. :)  

I keep poking at my muse but he remains pretty much somnolent.
