dang it, onceabluemoon
You have planted ideas in my head! Well, you and the hp freeverse poetry I’ve been reading by inkteardrops and our dancing days over on ff.net, but that’s beside the point. The point is that I’m now working on a GiottoCozart freeverse poem and I have been for the past few hours and I can’t get it out of my head.
/Have this./ Before it explodes my brain.
I won’t get done with it tonight, but it will probably be completed and posted tomorrow or the day after. Here’s a tiny sneak peek.

(still don’t have a title)
-.-.-.-
you used to ^soar^ among the clouds,
exalted with the angels constantly preaching love and tolerance and Christ’s charity all around you,
and you danced to their song while you decided it was the best thing in the world,
worth every sacrifice you had to offer
[what do you think now, fallen/golden/angel?]
(you remember your wings, don’t you,
golden-boy-vigilante-savior-leader-idol
with the sunlight glinting off your golden-spun hair and a kindfullofcharityandcare laugh to fell giants and cure black hearts)
but now, you think,
/maybe it wasn’t worth it/
-.-
listen, and i’ll describe in p.e.r.f.e.c.t detail everything that went awry.
just sit there, and i’ll pretend i don’t see you crying, infallible hero that you are (neverwere)
-.-.-.-
Oh. My. Gosh.
I’ve been jumping up and down for FIVE MINUTES STRAIGHT (not kidding here!) because I can’t believe someone was inspired by me! It’s SO AWESOME!
Also, GIOTTOCOZART! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! And Hallelujah. Only you and @i-w-p-chan have read Hallelujah yet, but it’s my baby and just *warbling noises of speechlessness*
(I’m also definitely going to check out the other inspirations, because they sound so cool!)
Have I ever told you you’ve got this incredible talent for putting down words in a way that makes the cadence of the words very clear even when not reading it aloud? It’s so musical, even when just reading it silently! (And you know how much of a poetry nut I am- and this talent you have is far from common, believe me!)
And I know you’re going to post the final product later, so I’ll just point out my favourite line, because I can’t contian my squealing entirely until then because this is SO FREAKIN’ BEAUTIFUL!

Especially the ‘’kindfullofcharityandcare,’’ hit me hard, because it was all of it at once- Giotto’s character, the cadence, the beauty of the words, and the emotion in it fell all into place at one point and it was a BUS RUNNING OVER ME, I’m telling you!
And that LAST PART Oh my GOSH!
