Stars
Does she ever see Stars as bright on black canvas? My sweet tears - not yet. Gandalf "There's one way only - To find the vile Cracks of Doom And cast the Ring there!" Provocation is a Tender Trap And that sweet laughter Tinkled through the sun-drench'd woods And cast him in love. Autumnal Come and fall with me Let Autumnal wist take us Send us to sadness. Enjoyable thread burrahobbit friend I will soon return.

A bit of haiku
To sate your poetic lust "Nightfall in Mirkwood": Branches sway and creak Leaves rustle in the shadows Cold laughter, silence...

I don't think I could
Write poems as good as this Silently I'll watch Maybe I shall try How hard can it be to write A haiku or two? Two Trees in the West Made of gold and silver The Valar are proud Telperion dew Was made into stars above The elves then woke up

Nightingale keens
at last on a darkling plain. Evenstar eclipsed. Frodo's mortal heart was aroused by rain-drenched song: River-daughter's laugh. Yet title intrigues. What tender trap do you read, Poet, love or quest? Leaf fall and lock lost: Autumnal wist take Gimli with Galadriel. The form answering, an expostulation now: 'Tis less cold control than measured finesse, distillation of desire, intensity wrought.

Would words have their wings
If truly they were own'd by Any one of us? Bethberry, my praise Thou art correct in thy thought Panegyrics commence! Would that all flowers Grew as endless as sunlight; I find them fleeting. Love of the poetic - Quest for the solitude that Bears the Ring of truth. [ November 18, 2002: Message edited by: Rimbaud ]

Congratulations
on your personal title, Perilous Poet. So you would wish to preserve imperishable the fleeting flower? Yet you grant words wings. Sounds silmarillish to me, confus'd signified and signifier. Respect Goldberry's wash day: Ringbearer's lesson. Although perhaps your point is indeed that, but with hint of Balrog's wings? Bethberry

(I'm doing mine the way they taught me at my school with the pattern being 5-7-5,7-7,5-7-5)
Sauron forged a ring Twas the ring to rule them all Isildur took it It fell into Anduin Smeagol stole, then Bilbo found It passed to Frodo But Gandalf found its secret The rest- history
