studyr! This is a very interesting idea and at the same time a coincidence as in the VERY, VERY beginning I did have Valentina's last name be Petrovna but changed it because it was suggested that Petrovna was too common a name.

The idea of being able to weave the poem into the storyline would be nice touch as well. My daughter likes the idea a lot and she said the poem reminded her of Edgar Allen Poe!

I'm going to post the poem on the literature thread as there is also a link to hear it in Russian.
