Well, since we are all LotR fanatics here (I presume ;) ) I will post an attempt of continuation:

The Fall of Gil-Galad

Gil-galad was an Elven king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing.
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen
His shining healm afar was seen.
The countless stars of heaven’s fiels
Were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say,
For into darkness fell his star,
In Mordor where the shadows are.

He had Elendil at his side
And into battle they did ride
To slay the Dark Lord Annatar,
Who ruled the darkness from afar.

So with their mighty force they marched,
Their stomachs bare, their mouths were parched,
For dust the Plain of Dagorlad
Did cover armies good and bad.

For seven years they fought as one.
No victory was ever won.
They suffered strongly, but prevailed,
Gil-Galad as a hero hailed.

For many battles did he fight,
But Sauron is his power and might
Could not be conquered with the ring
Not even by this mighty king.

But, though the Dark Lord did not die,
His fabled armies did not fly.
Many fights, though small they be,
Brought to Gil-Galad victory.

But then the Dark Lord came to say
That he would win this battle day.
Against his force Gil-Galad fell
And with him Elendil as well.

But Gil-Galad was not alone!
His armies moved against the stone
Of Sauron, and Isildur’s hand
Cut off the ring and saved the land.

Gil-Galad was an Elven king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing.
But he freed us from Sauron’s wrath
And took upon him death’s clear path.


I hope you realise that the first 3 verses are Tolkien's :D Tell me what you think?!?!

It's neat that you wrote some more of it. I like that poem of Tolkien's too. (Love your banner, Lady Erana! Amy rocks! :P ) Have any of you seen Spirited Away? Well, hopefully so, because i'm posting a poem (well, song actually) that i wrote about that movie. ;) It's from Chihiro's point of view, to Haku. (It was kind of inspired by the song Electric Blue--at least i think it's called that--by the Cranberries.)

Green eyes

Green eyes like sunlight in emerald waters--
Their sparkle was hope when Earth's tide dragged me down:
But I'll never breathe again if your sweet light falters--
If your life is stolen, in sorrow I'll drown:

White dragon, my best friend--
Don't leave me alone!
In the dark, think of Westwind--
Your flight is my own:

Please don't let me fall!

Green eyes, don't leave me--
Green eyes, I'll save you:
Green eyes, you haunt me--
Green eyes, I love you!

Green eyes that watched me as fearful I strayed here--
Their kindness was strength when grief''s flood stole my breath:
Sweet angel, my guardian, I need you to stay near--
The Darkness will claim me if I lose you to death!

White dragon, my best friend--
In Shadowlands dark,
I'll bring you to Westwind--
For you bear my heart:

Please don't let it fall!

Green eyes, don't leave me--
Green eyes, I'll save you:
Green eyes, you haunt me--
Green eyes, I love you!

Once a real flood swallowed me--
In its tide I thought I'd die,
But a gentle presence followed me--
Now it bears me through the sky:
Listen close now--I remember--let your nameless bondage end:
Snow-white dragon, darling river--be yourself, be my friend!

Green eyes, don't leave me--
Green eyes, I'll save you:
Green eyes, you haunt me--
Green eyes, I love you!

In my tears glistens starlight,
By green eyes outshone:
Take me with you in hearts' flight--
This time is our own!

Green eyes, don't leave me--
Green eyes, I'll save you:
Green eyes, you haunt me--
Green eyes, I love you!

Green eyes, you haunt me--
Green eyes, I love you!
