Thanks for your feedback on "Sirius Rising" - I'm very happy you found it creepingly enjoyable and liked the description of the tombstones.

I was inspired by the Cheshire Cat when I wrote about the Grim disappearing bit-by-bit, leaving only his teeth/fangs behind, before poofing out completely.  It's always good to leave a bit of mystery behind, I think - at least in the Forbidden Forest, heh heh. . .    Gaia

I had fun writing this Snape poem - one can never be quite sure what he's up to and what secrets he may be hiding.  Yes, one must be quite diligent about not overdoing the Astral Travel Powder. The mind boggles at what may happen as the result of an overdose - accidental or otherwise!

Thanks for the review!  Gaia

You know, I don't really know who the "Watchers" are either, but they seemed to insert their mysterious presence in this poem.  Perhaps they are some kind of invisible forest guardian spirits.  I think I'll have to explore this idea further, perhaps in a future poem.

Thanks for your encouragement to keep on the poetic path, Gaia

I'm hoping to continue to add more poems to this collection as inspiration moves my creative energy.  Thanks for your appreciation of my work!

In Spirit, Gaia
