Disclaimer: Sadly, not mine.
Spoilers: This is spoilerific for the mid-season trailer. Do not read this if you are remaining unspoiled for trailers.
A/N: That conversation from the mid-season trailer, from Donna’s point of view.
Summary: I think he daren’t believe it could be true.

I think he daren’t believe it could be true.
And when you’ve lost as many things as him,
It’s hard to blame him for that point of view.
I know he thinks the chances are but slim,
But if she’s coming back that must be good.
At least in part: it lets him have the chance
To say those words. He wants to, thinks he should;
I hope he can. It’s always been my stance.
And if I can buy them a little time,
An hour or two that they would not have had,
By some decisive, active act of mine?
Then I would do it. Do it, and be glad.
He’s waited for so long, that broken man,
And I just want to help him – if I can.

i must say:
HOLY FLYING F-BOMB. you rock at sonnets.
it's very very spectacularly written, IMO, and i forgot a rule of the sonnet until now (ten syllables per line). i don't know how you do it, darling.

That's just so Donna. You've got her in a nutshell. :)

This one was a pain in the arse to write, though; the rhymes wouldn’t come. Thank Chaos for rhyming dictionaries!

I was hoping folk would think I had Donna’s characterisation down OK. I worry sometimes that I’ve a character read wrong.

Wow. There is an art to sonnet writing and you, my dear, have nailed it.

Thank you so much!

(This one was a little blighter, though; couldn’t get it to scan at all for ages.)

Love it. Not a poetry person, but I love it all the same. :)
