FYI - Inspiration isn't c oming, so if I don't get mine in, then don't extend the deadline just because of me.

Yes, of course you can! Welcome to the contest, eowyn of ithilien!




Don't worry, Lalaithnindil! You've still got more than a week to go. And only three entries have been posted by now, so perhaps I might have to extend the deadline anyway...

Okay, this is kinda crummy... not as good as all y'alls... but ach vell. I haven't been very poetic of late. Meh.

This is describing Boromir's death. I mixed a lot of modern and Shakespearean language in together... as usual.

A Plea

What is to forgive the wrong he wrought?
When so, his heart would penitent be.
Thy respect he has not sought,
But dying, honors you in humility.

To picture his valor are naught but inept,
He traded his breath for the hobbits lifespan
Such honor must be treasured and kept,
In retention of this valiant man.

His blood wounds stain and mingle with thine,
Just like his own desperate heart.
Soon he goes far off, with the brine
Yet love of his people he must impart.

Who can save Gondor, from this fate of this Ring?
You my brother, my Captain, my King.

*Applauds* Wow, I'm not worthy! You're a very good writer FM

It sounds... like Shakespeare; FM. And it's more beautiful than Shakespeare... (my older sister annoys me with Shakespeares sonnets day and night sometimes).

I still haven't had any inspiration for it. I can't write any sort of poem without proper inspiration.

Here's my entry:


Eowyn's song

I walk along a lonely path.
It seems to take too long for me.
I ever mourn, I never laugh.
Beside the white Simbelmyne.

To my dear cousin's grave I go.
He fell in war by a foes hand,
Along with many others too,
King Theoden's only descent.

The song I sing, it hurts me deep.
I cannot breathe, I cannot walk,
I cannot think, I cannot sleep.
I miss you, but can't get you back.

I'm singing, tears running down and drop onto the floor.
I'm desperate, I'm depressed, I don't want to anymore.

Wow! A wonderful sonnet, Lady Erana! I think it captures Eowyn's feelings really well. I love it.

I'm going to have to withdraw from the contest... a bunch of stuff just came up so I'm not able to find the time to write anything other than school and the story I'm trying to finish until January.

That's a pity, but I can perfectly understand you. Real life comes before virtual life and at the moment nearly all teachers worldwide seem to be in a mood to bury us poor students under tons of homework...
So, I wish you good luck for finishing your story!

hey! hope i've got this in in time. wasn't sure i was going to manage anything with so much work for uni, but i've just written this. it's not up to my usual standard i'm afraid, but what can you do?!

it's based on eowyn's words to faramir in the houses of healing and the little moment that follows when they hold hands without realising (pages 288-289 in my copy).


I stand upon the brink
Of a chasm deep and wide
And fear my nerve will fail me
Ere I reach the other side.

All is dark below me;
I cannot turn to find the light.
I must wait and watch and listen
For the ending of this night.

But for this moment all is quiet,
For this moment all is still;
With you stood here beside me
I no longer feel the chill.

You warm the hope I thought was dead
And make my heart war with my head.

darn it! just realised i used the wrong rhyme scheme. okay, scratch the last entry - this is it:

I stand upon the brink of a chasm deep and wide.
All is dark below me; I cannot turn to find the light.
I fear my nerve will fail me ere I reach the other side,
But I must stand and wait and watch for the ending of this night.

And for this moment all is quiet, for this moment all is still;
Time has halted surely and the world has ceased to spin.
With you stood here beside me I no longer feel the chill –
For the first time since the Darkness, I feel that we could win.

You said that you had found something and maybe you speak true –
I feel now I have found some hope in this prevailing gloom.
But now my head’s in disarray and I don’t know what to do;
How can I have found happiness in this very hour of doom?

You warm the hope I thought was dead
And make my heart war with my head.

Wow! That's a wonderful sonnet, eowyn of ithilien! I really like the way it captures the magic of the moment it describes. Well done!
