This is a poem I wrote for English class about the books. You can read this while I try to get rid of my writers block and write an ypdate for ya'. I'll try to hurry. Any suggestions? Thanks for the reviews. Any suggestions on what can happen in Annie's time?

I could not love you, dear, so much, loved I not honor more.

Time

Wintertime in the forest

We see a carrage on a nearby road

Decorated with golden scrollwork

The Stratton initials

The mare's breaath visable

In the cold winter air

A gentle wind blows

Through the bare trees

Suroundng a young couple

It teases the silken black hair

Off the young woman's face

Fear shows in her dark eyes

Her dress is of pale yellow

Silk, to her ankles

Typical for a girl her age

Yet, somehow, she doesn't fit in

A young man stands beside her

Handsome dispite his wire-rimmed glasses

His eyes mirror her own

But there is somthing else

Love

He is dressed in his dinner attitire

Black suit complete with large starched collar

Gold cuff links and squishy white bowtie

They have been here before

Annie always has to leave

But not like this

Not so final

Tense silence hangs between them
Annie can feel the weight of the long skirts

Against her ankles

Hear them swish against the snow

Strat reaches for her hand

Her eyes grow wide

As the wind picks up

Almost violent now

It savagely whips her raven hair

Around her face

She can hardly breathe

But it's not her corset

Her heart pounds against it's wire cage

She starts to cry

Tears falling untamed

He gently wipes them away

With a loving hand

Holds her against him

Comforting her

He can feel dampness

Her tears on his shoulder

She is there

So close

She begins to fade

He can't see her

His beautiful and loving

Sweet Anna Sophia

Out of time

Gone forever
