^I agree, Kemi. To me, it sounded like a concept that could be used in Christianity (my religion)--we have a lot of mystical poems --but make no mistake, i mean that in a very complementary way. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. If you want to know why it reminded me of that, you could pm me and I'll tell you.

By the way, can I join? It's a rare day that I'm not in the process of writing some poem or other (which I'll post when I have time ). I compose like there's no tomorrow!

I kinda like it, never been too good at it(I might try it out here) and my countries national epic forms out of poems...

For example this small part as Kullervo goes to war against his fathers killer.

"No, I will not go and hide;
No, this bad one will not run:
I will go to the mouth of death,
To the dark door of the grave,
To the bloody battlefields,
To the killing grounds of war-men -
Untamoinen still stands upright,
Traitorous hind as yet unconquered;
Unavenged my father's wounds,
Unrepaid my mother's tears

The poems were gathered from persons that had passed them onwards, but these days there are no true persons whom would remember them all.

can I join??? I promise I'll be a .

I love to write poetry!

Seeing as that's the case, I think I'll post something and hopefully revive this club. Here's one about the Grey Havens, both at the end of rotk, and...later.

Frodo
Soft to the West--
Like a lullaby
In a child's rest--
Sweet blows the wind,
Soothing tears you cry
At our journey's end:

Watch the Sea
Turn to beckoning gold:
Smile for me--
In my heart thine I hold.

With West-bound tide and East-borne wind,
The sails fill, the moorings bend--
Bright-heaven's wings my soul they lend,
Yet to Earth I look, to my dearest friend.

Sam
Light as a dove,
I will soar to you
On wings of love:
Sweetest command--
More than all I knew,
Came friendship's hand.

Call to me--
I will hear you in dreams!--
To cross the Sea,
When the Lonely Star gleams:

Only call me in the pathless night--
Frodo
I'll be haven to my bird's last flight:
Sam
In my tears there glimmers starry white--
Frodo
Don't weep, my friend--I seek the Light!

Long afterward

Frodo
Long did you love
She that flew away--
A snow-white dove:
Hear my command--
Come beyond the spray,
And take my hand:

Look to Sea--
Time has set your release!--
Soar to me,
Finding joy born of peace.

Sam
My grief is dark when Light is done--
Frodo
Seek out the Road with Dawn begun!--
Sam
Unto your voice I'll gladly run--
Frodo
You fill my heart, sweet golden Sun!

Eariel, that is so beautiful! One of the best poems about the Grey Havens that I've ever read.

We've been forever
yet we've only just begun.
We have come full circle.

This poem is called Lothlórien (at the End of the 4th Age)

Silence
Only birds disrupt the silence
Night
We only have the moon for little guidance

Silence
Not a deathly silence, but of life
Water
Guarantees us life, but also death

Silence
Lulling silence, making you forget the dangers
Hope
A thing you gather here along the way

Silence
Helping you relax and find your centre
Rest
Showing what to do, how to go on

Silence
Element of Light, of Dark, of Slumber
Mirror
Showing you what is, what was and will be

Silence
Takes the place of ancient, deceased gaiety
Elves
Welcomed you to rest and peace and hope

Silence
Welcoming and yet somehow repulsive
Cobwebs
Take the place of former present light

Silence
The Age of Elves is past
Away
From the Grey Havens they sailed to join their kin

Galadriel
Travelled far away Lady of Adamant
And in Lothlórien now presides just
Silence

(Thanks for the comliment of my sig )

Hi! Can I join? I took a poetry class a year ago and enjoyed it. I love editing poems and such, it's a weird thing I like to do....strange I know...
At my school I won a prize for editor's choice poetry in our school literary book....So I got my poem published on the first page, and here is the poem :

Tibet
Secluded in the mountains
of Tibet, an orange clad monk
drifts through stone halls.
Incense of exotic flowers
wafts in the air,
disclosing secrets of eternity.
Colossal gongs
reverberate in hidden
valley passes.
A goat herder lifts
his head in recognition.
I descend the stone steps
of the moss covered temple
into a garden.
Pale pink blossoms
peek from beneath
Sheltering leaves.
My steps are muffled
by emerald grass
blanketing the ground
before me.
In my path ahead,
a monk kneels beneath
a vast tree. The gnarled
branches form a protective
shelter around him.
Monks in ginger robes
appear like marble statues,
meditating beneath
trees. An eternity passes.
Wind from the east
rustles the leaves.
A single leaf breaks free
from a constricting branch
and drifts to the earth.
When the gong echoes again,
I watch the monks
rise in unison
and enter the temple
their heads bowed.

Ah yes, there it is....Hmm...it's kind of weird to read it again, because I haven't read it in awhile

^I like that. My mom visited Tibet at least once, so although I've only ever heard about it (as opposed to going there myself), it's kind of nostalgic.

Forever: Thank you. *blushes* I've written loads about the Grey Havens, so I guess I have practice. That and Mount Doom are two of my biggest lotr poetry topics.

Arawn: You're welcome!
I wrote one about Lothlorien too, awhile back.

Bright is air and blossoming bough
Where the leaves are wrought of singing gold.
All remembered of then is now,
And the forest lovely to behold.

Amidst lights in the Elvish city fair
On silver trunk and golden wing
The Lord and Lady in bright hall dwell there
And like the golden rain Elves sing

Wise and fair as the setting sun
Queen Galadriel of the Elven-ring
High Celeborn of Lothlorien
A great Lord and an Elven-king

Bittersweet is this coming day
When setting is Lothlorien's star
Much that is fair must soon pass away
And the Elves must journey to lands afar

Still Nimrodel flows sweet and clear
By bough of gold and trunk of grey
But long have the Elves known their hour was near,
And to the West have long since sailed away.

A poem for J.R.R. Tolkien I wrote some time ago. It's not very good, because it's still a bit hard for me to write poems in English.

For all you have written
For all the stories you told
I want to thank you

For the worlds you created
Worlds, unlike our one will ever be
I want to thank you

For the beauty you gave us
Beauty beyond words
I want to thank you

I wish I could express
what your books mean to me

I wish I had met you once

Thank you

Mr Tolkien



I'm not sure if the grammar is correct


Eariel, I'd love to read one of your poems about Mount Doom. You're so talented!
