Well what a birthday gift this is! Thanks for posting it Cainanite, and thanks to _______ for writing it!
I'd make a guess as to who the author is but I will not risk being right
I admire the effort put into it, and I loved the very strong 'possible reality' of it; I had no problem at all suspending disbelief, in fact, it's more possible than not, things being as they are these days.
And Cainanite, your delicious poem accompanyment was spot-on. I love writing poetry and I can so tell you do too! I never would have liked it if it were not for my Mom's insistance that at Christmas, we must not just write a gift recipient's name on a card; one had to write a clue, in rhyming poetry, any meter (but woe betide you if your meter was off!).
What a fun matched set.
Thanks so much!!
