Thanks, Brigadier! I've always loved the poems and riddles in Brian Jacques' stories. When reading out loud to my family, I always improvise a tune on the spot and sing. I write a lot of poetry, but for Redwall I always feel I need to put more effort into having a meaning behind even the "just for fun" songs and poems. That first one has a few plot teasers in it, that hopefully I will be able to explain well. I can get into the characters of a story easily, but laying out a solid plot and following it is difficult for me. Redwall always followed such clear plot lines, even when there were several inter-woven stories happening at once. Not sure I can pull it off, but I welcome the challenge.
