AN- I might be killed for not working on the stories I already have posted, but when something wants to come out of you, well, it's best just to let it. I was reading some poetry and found these two poems, the first 'The Passionate Shepard to His Love', by Christopher Marlowe, and the second, well, that's the next chapter. I thought it would be cute to rewrite it as a love letter from Remus Lupin. This has exactly the same number of lines as the original poem, and I kept the last word of each line as the same in the original, so it also has exactly the same rhyming scheme. Cool! Paraphrasing is fun.
The Passionate Werewolf to His Love-
For my darling, for my love
This is for you for me to prove
For all of England's craggy fields
And across all borders this feeling yields
Like the sea crashing upon stormy rocks
Like birds flying free in flocks
It was so natural for me to fall
Now I sing this madrigal
And for you, so many roses
A dozen or more coloured posies
Could decorate your wedding kirtle
If you say no I'll feel like Myrtle
I may be part wolf but with no wool
That over your eyes I could pull
Darling, don't leave me out in the cold
Take me in your heart of gold
Sweeter than the reddest buds
Stronger than the strongest studs
Into the future we always move
And now I can say it's you I love
Aloud and noble I can sing
Will you marry me one spring morning?
Than together we can move
And forever be my love
