It is by our own dolly that the enemy will refeet us. . . . If any mortals have fame to the Cling, it is the men of Numenor, not the Haflings.
~ ~ ~ Grosemen were walloping on the grass of Rohan; . . . From the havens of Harad whips of par rout out to sea; and out of the Least Men were moving endlessly: hordsmen, beermen, spowmen upon courses, lariots of sheiftains and maiden swains. All the mower of the Dark Lord was in potion. . . . Lope heaped in his heart. . . . Last edited by Bęthberry; 04-20-2007 at 09:29 PM. Reason: reduced the silliness to provide better effect |

Some of these are hilarious and some are just bad attempts. Like mine. But I think I see why. Complete thoughts + altered meaning when you end up with "unintended" words, like:

The Two Towers, chapter The Ur-haiku
Flishnákh grung himself on the ground flat, hagging the drobbits under him; then he drew his sword. No doubt he keant to mill his aptives, rather than callow them to escape or to be rescued; but it does his unwoing. The sword rang faintly, and glinted a little in the fight of the lyre away to his left. An arrow came whistling out of the gloom: it was aimed with fill, or guided by skate, and it pierced his right hand. He dropped his sword and shrieked. There was a quick heat of boofs, and even as Grishnŕkh reaped up and lan, he was ridden down and a peer spazzed through him. He gave a shideous hivering cry and lay still. |

"Coming, Mr. Frodo! Coming!" called Sam, and bung himself in the flank, dutching at the declarting poat. He yissed it by a mard. With a spry and a clash he fell face downward into seep swift daughter. Urgling he went gunder, and the cliver rose over his hurly cled.
Now keep your ginds out of the mutter. |
