Hi, first off an apology for last week's! From now on, I will write who the point of view is from, but that is SEPARATE to who the poem is about, most weeks… Anyway, it was from Merlin's point of view, but about Uther. Mainly. It's just because we have this thing… We're all characters off Merlin. In our heads of course… Anyway, Catherine is Merlin, Simona is Gaius, and I am Uther. So that was why my birthday poem was about Uther 'going on a randy' as my Standard Grade History textbook once told me… Yeah. I did try to warn you. Not very well though, and for that I apologise…
And sorry this is only up today, we have exams at school at the moment and I was revising for Biology like craaaazy yesterday. But the other two also failed to remind me (not that it's their fault!) so that shows how intense these exams are, man! ;) That is also the reason why my replies to your reviews may take a while... Real sorry guys, please keep reviewing though, and I'll get back to you at some point! :D
This week's is one of MY poems! Yaaaaaaay! Finally I get to contribute properly again! :D As of our new format, this week's is from the point of view (POV) of me and Catherine, or the viewer in general I suppose. There shouldn't be any confusion like last week, but better safe than sorry! ;)

Shared Enemies (by Eleanor)
We'd never heard of you before
Until you did appear
Your very un-medieval haircut
And a grin from ear to ear.
You wandered in, a silent ghost
But later served your part.
You saved the gang in time of need
Winning a place in Arthur's heart.
You pushed some rocks in such a plot,
Some soldiers then to hinder.
Your strength you gathered as you toiled
And your eyes burned as cinders.
You were welcomed into Camelot's crew
Most famed of all the land
Yet we'd never seen or heard of you
Before you joined Arthur's band.
But soon enough you won their trust
Through good friend Lancelot.
And of course that help you gave them
Getting out of a tricky spot.
You won a seat at the Round Table
On Lancelot's right side,
The man who claimed he'd "picked you up"
I'm pretty sure he lied…
Fashion statement of the year,
You're far too butch for sleeves.
But that you'll regret when summer's past
As chilly forests shed their leaves.
You like to act the hard man,
But we all saw through your act
A simple deed of kindness
You gave Gaius a drink – fact!
Fifth to volunteer yourself
For Arthur's desperate cause,
You showed great strength and sacrifice
Give the man a round of applause!
"Your enemies are my enemies"
You told the almost king.
You needed no better reason
Foes would feel your bitter sting.
To die for a man you'd never met
Before that fateful day.
A choice that you were glad to make,
From Arty's side you wouldn't stray.
So though we may not know you
And you're still a mystery
It is known for definite
There's more for you than Season 3!
Yaaaaaaay poetry! Until next week, lovelies! :D
