« Thread Started on Jan 18, 2004, 3:28pm »
In here you can show of your poetic skills, no prizes as of yet but there may be some in the future. As everyone knows poetry's great, so get writing!

Just to get the ball rolling here's a poem i just wrote, it's not too good as im not that good at poetry. Hope you enjoy. ;D

The Two Trees of Valinor


In the beginning of days,
Before the coming of elves or men,
The being known as Yavanna
Sang to the lords of the Vala.

In the council of Mahanaxar,
Near the golden gates of Valmar,
They watched as Yavanna sang,
And the world was silent, no sound rang.

Two slender shoots appeared,
Fair and strong they grew,
One was green and silver,
The other green and gold.

They blossomed and flowered,
Spilling light unto the world,
They waxed and waned,
The gold and silver light.

They were named Telperion and Laurelin,
For these were the two trees of Valinor,
Their light was great to behold,
And their majesty unsurpassed.


:-[ (just in case, that means embarrased)

*claps* Cool poem, Elessar! You should write a tune to it. ;D Don't be embarassed. Here's mine:

Alas For The Elves

Immortal and wisest, people of trees,
Have now sailed across the Sundering seas.
You have now gone, but your memory not,
You may still live in the hearts you have caught.

Legolas Greenleaf, your hair was blond,
You wandered to Rivendell, Helm’s Deep, and beyond.
Your arrow’s deadly aim made your enemies flinch,
Legolas Greenleaf, Mirkwood’s prince.

Queen Galadriel, your crown so bright,
You gave Frodo the Halfling your gift of light.
Your realm of Lorien, mysterious and fair,
Was the Lady of Light’s magical lair.

Alas for the Elves, the immortal Elves,
For it is not in this world that you now dwell.
No one will forget your beautiful ease,
Alas for the Elves, they have gone over the seas.

Not very good, perhaps. I wrote it in 5th grade.

*standing ovation* That's really great! We can safely say that you're in charge of Gondorian Poetry form now on. That really is good. And don't mean to sound retarded but 5th grade is that like year 5 or something?(sorry, from England)

No, 5th grade is ages 10 and 11. Not age 5.

I can't write poetry, no matter what.

Here's a poem that I dug out of the files on my school computer account:

Long Ago Forgotten

In spring the silver mallorns bloomed
And enchanted waters flowed.
Now whispered tales of Elves once doomed
Softly sigh along forgotten roads.

Galadhrim lived there once, they say
Under reign of king and queen.
The Lady of Gold, the Lord of Grey
Their light and beauty evergreen.

But on wore the creeping time
And one by one the Eldar sailed
To the calling of the gold bell’s chime
Lest their lives be forever veiled.

Now falling, soft and cold, the snow
In fair Lothlorien, now nothing but an echo.

Well, here's a short little song I wrote, it's probably dumb but I just did it because I needed a quick song for someone to be singing in my book.

Galaduin's Lament

I met thee in the morning,
In the pale light of dawn so fair.
The gleam of the last star smiled on thee,
But there lay my despair.

You took me away then to
The fair land by the sea, my love,
It seemed as a life so perfect then,
But shadow it was of.

One night as I lay sleeping,
You quietly slipped away from me.
I knew as the sun went from the sky
It was the last of thee.

May also made up a good tune for it, but obviously I can't post that, which is annoying because it's half the effect.

Me and May made up a world and there are a bunch of Elf-Angel sort of people, we call them Huin-Tu-Cheb which means They-That-Keep, and they were guardians of stuff in their world. Well, two of them had a daughter named Galadae, and she married an Elf ( :o ) and their daughter was Galaduin. Then Galaduin married a Man, and this song is about him. In the last verse it was about when he died, because Galaduin was like immortal and he wasn't. Isn't it sad?

I could take all day to express how cool they are, but I am not going to do that. All the poems are great, and I look forward to reading more of them.

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
Hope shall fade, all shall fade.

A strong breeze blows through the corn rows
And the husks rustle in its swift embrace
Ceres mournfully sits down upon the earth
Grieving Proserpine’s early sojourn with Pluto
The leaves, past their prime, gently float away
Reapers gather grain and barley
Harvest is plentiful
Store up for later days, they brood in unison
Cold days will come swiftly
But Proserpine will not come
Frigus
… cold of winter
Veris
… the spring
Aestas
… the summer
Autumnus
…
welcome autumn
