Well, the title says it all... :-)

Welcome to the Official Children of Hurin poetry contest.
Write a poem about a character, place or theme from the Children of Hurin and PM it to me.

Deadline September 7th.


~~~Participants~~~
- Ëarwen



Please vote for the poem you like the best!

Poem #1

Before there was Frodo, Gandalf and all
There was a land know to all, but so small
It's evil dark days were long and tough
The sun never shined there, it was ruff

The land was under the authority of Morgoth
He was a dark Lord, filled of mallace and roth
He had only one Lieutenant, another dark Lord
Sauron, this was the name of this dark evil Lord

Their Power was of great evil, it was down casting
This burden that men felt, it felt it was everlasting
It felt like being wounded down deep into you soul
It was like beeding to death, out there in the cold

So downcast where the men whom were living
As they walked through the world of those surviving
Had they had lost all hope for justice to be done
Would they have hope, when the battle is won

All was quiet through out all of the land
Not a noise, not even the faintest sound
Had everyone given up, had they all failed
Or were they going to fight, there swords to yield

"Someone's comming to help us fight" said a young lady
As everyone looked up they saw a army who was all ready
"We have come to join you" Said Turin, the leader
Someone said "Bess you, you are our Saviour"



Poem #2

I not afraid, i do not walk in fear
By my side i draw my sword near
It's blade is sharp as i raise it steady
My enemies have come,i am here ready

I raise my sword slowely with silence
A loud shout brakes through my silence
Horses fidget, in fear young boys tremble
Don't run away, no longer shall we tremble

I am ready as your leader, lord and king
Shall you fight, stand through the whole thing
I shall be willing, but only if you are willing too
We will stand and fight in battle until it is through

We will walk, not faint, we will run and not go weary
We will stand our ground, we will not get bleary
Shall we not be tired until our job is finaly done
Shall we win this fight before the setting of the sun

Their Lord himself shall die, by me and in my name
His death will be filled of such dishonor and disgrace
So as long as the Children of Húrin are living here
Morgoth fate shall be filled of such mallace and fear

The Children of Húrin are Turin (Turambar) and Nienor mentioned in the Silmarillion.
I found this super short summary about the plot in the book:

In this story, Túrin renames himself Turambar, meaning Master of Doom in the High-Elven speech, with a vow to turn aside from the darkness that had ruled his early life. His sister Nienor is also called Níniel, meaning Maid of Tears. She is renamed by Turambar himself after he finds her alone and in distress in the woods. Only much later does he learn her real name and origins. The section ends with the Elves calling them by the names of Túrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga (as the slayer of the Dragon Glaurung) and Nienor Níniel.
(From www.tolkienlibrary.com)

Nah... that's the problem... Unfortunately, I don't think many people have read the book yet...
But perhaps someone would join anyway..perhaps write a poem based on the story about Turin and Nienor from the Silmarillion... *hinthint*

ok first of all, sorry for double posting, counldn't edit the other post.

I think i shall enter this contest after all, i found some good information on a website <A HREF="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/catalog/titledetail.cfm?titleNumber=694291">Look</A>

It shows not much information, just enought to keep me happy. I was going to buy this book @ borders yesterday but unfortunately i didn't have the money, it was quite good though, £14.99, orginal price was £18.99 but 4 pounds off ;), i did get a gollum book for a quid ;).

Anyway back to the point, i will enter as soon as possible....hopefully people will see my enterie then, and enter!

Yay, thanks for entering. Perhaps people can get inspired by the site you found.

To be honest... I didn't expect people to fall over each other to enter this contest. I don't think too many people have read it yet.

Looking forward to see your entry! :-)

well it's not that good, and to be honest i don't think i wrote it that well, maybe the story didn't go like that. Im not quite sure, if it's very bad please comment.

Before there was Frodo, Gandalf and all
There was a land know to all, but so small
It's evil dark days were long and tough
The sun never shined there, it was ruff

The land was under the authority of Morgoth
He was a dark Lord, filled of mallace and roth
He had only one Lieutenant, another dark Lord
Sauron, this was the name of this dark evil Lord

Their Power was of great evil, it was down casting
This burden that men felt, it felt it was everlasting
It felt like being wounded down deep into you soul
It was like beeding to death, out there in the cold

So downcast where the men whom were living
As they walked through the world of those surviving
Had they had lost all hope for justice to be done
Would they have hope, when the battle is won

All was quiet through out all of the land
Not a noise, not even the faintest sound
Had everyone given up, had they all failed
Or were they going to fight, there swords to yield

"Someone's comming to help us fight" said a young lady
As everyone looked up they saw a army who was all ready
"We have come to join you" Said Turin, the leader
Someone said "Bess you, you are our Saviour"
