Hi all! I was wondering...

What is everyone's favorite poem from any of Tolkien's works?

Is is your all time favorite poem or do you have another? If so, what poem?

Do you write poetry? If so, do you write them in stories you are writing, like Tolkien or elsewhere?

If you are a poet feel free to post one of your poems! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Oh yeah, please say what it is that you like about your favorite poems.

I'll start...

My favorite poem from one of Tolkien's works is Aragorn's poem. I think everyone knows it. It has so many great lines and lessons like "All that is gold does not glitter," etc.

As much as I love this poem, I have another all time favorite. It's by Robert Frost, called "The Road Less Traveled." Here it is. I feel that this poem illustrates a great life lesson that the road less traveled can often be more rewarding.

I'm sorry to say that I don't write poetry. I'm just not creative like that. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Oh well!

Now let's see some of yours! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
