Lady Forest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by: Tom Frye<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kissed by the sun, embraced by the morning,
The Forest sheds her cloak of Night.
She slips into a gown of mist,
She wove herself, by Morning light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Amber rays, the Forest dances,
In hidden glens within the hills.
Barefoot, she glides through open meadows,
Tip-toes her way past silver rills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her gown of mist trails behind her,
Fluttering in the morning wind,
Adorned with gems and sparkling jewels.
The rising sun did surely send.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diminished <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by David McGlinchey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimmer now the light of day
\nLess bright the stars at night
\nSparser grow the woods and plant’s
\nFor the Elves have gone away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less beauty now to look upon
\nMore haste to get things done.
\nNo care to share for others around.
\nFor the Ents now too have gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No words of power for moonlight door.
No Blue, Grey, Brown or White
No reasoned words to guide us on
When Istari remove their light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hobbits Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by: Sarah W.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far o\u2019er the Misty Mountains cold
\nWhere Smaug sleeps upon a lair of gold
\nA burglar hides with the One Ring
\nNothing to aid him, but trusty Sting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon the dragon wakes and leaves his den
\nHeads for Lake Town, anger aimed for men
\nBard the bowman shoots, Smaug falls dead
\nBut Thorin still yearns for a crown on his head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wish for a share of wealth, men and elves alike
Long they tarry, ere they strike
Soon come goblins and orcs from caves below
From below the mountains, their hearts hollow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle cries ring sharply in the air
\nMere minutes pass, ere Dain and his dwarves are there
\nBurglar slips away from what he sees
\nWishing to be home, by the fire, sipping tea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All ends, but not in fire, and victory crawls near
With parting farewells, Bilbo heads back to his hole so dear
The war is over the journey is done
For now evil is gone, there is nothing to fear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
