I betcha I know one genius who can coax that genie out of her bottle. Or maybe even join her.

Heh!

Really like this, especially the parts about chemistry subtly altered and the line about 'through a glass darkly'. You make poetry seem so effortless! In answer to your question I despised the English Patient!- Too many hours of nothing to look at but sand and nothing to listen to but whiny upperclass Brits cheating on their spouses. I think my tutor was sent off by the cloven hoofed one without a hug, or has possibly been smoking an illicit substance with Robert Downey Jnr to come up with this assignment.

Anyway thanks for the support will keep you posted...

This was great, is it your own? Have you read the novel Blackberry Wine by Joanna Harris? It's narrated by a bottle of wine. ;-)
