AN: This poem can be read in several ways. One is as speculation on/tribute to the popular theory that the new Companion next year might be Romana. Another is that it might be Jenny. Lastly, this can be read as a sort of companion piece to About Time (which is NOT dead, just in a coma :D), but I can't explain any more than that without giving away the big reveal of the first part. So,
Unnamed Companion
A Doctor Who blank verse
By JadedofMara
There is a Watch
or a locket.
He glances
thinly
eyes lidded
Pandora's hope
kept
boxed in blue
And doesn't,
doesn't stare
At the chain
On the neck
Of the girl,
His as-yet
Unnamed
Companion.
Instead, he
smiles,
Glib
Eyes up,
Face forward,
Soldier!
And forces through
tight teeth:
"I dunno.
You could come with me."
