Kokuryuu Flameshifter Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 “Believe” Hidden between bush and tree, Lives a word for only attentive eyes to see. There, hidden beyond, the dwarves dwell, Mining for mithril and gold to sell. In mountains tall and mighty, There are cities both tall and tiny. Here is a world people speak not of or do not know, Still their realms shine and glow. Hobbits jolly and round, Burrow in both hill and ground. Joyously their children play, While the elders puff the day away. Eagles pass leisurely in flight, Swooping down to a wizard’s might. His arm stretched high to the heavens, He is remembered only in tales, myths and legends. Laden with age and wisdom is he, Eyes seeing further beyond than others see. He joins the tables of the Elven lords, Who sing and chant wielding shining swords. O joyous are the elves full of light, Bringing comfort in a hopeless night. Their bright eyes and shimmering hair, Bring overwhelming warmth and care. More graceful with every leap and bound, Their wonders reside in realms unfound. Their sun ripened hair flows from heads held proud, For they are masters of sea and cloud. Harvesters of land, keepers of nature, rulers of both weak and mighty, riders of the wind and rolling thunder, Through their voices tolls the heavens’ wonder. Linked to all, Both hidden and tall. Through the woods they prance with the Ents; shepherds of trees, However, even their wooden hearts grieve. Their endless search for the Entwives pierces their hearts, Far and wide, they have searched through all parts. Though not in the land where shadows lie, For not even Elves there tread, less they wish to die. Where Orcs lurk and prowl, On the Misty Mountains there are creatures foul. Creeping in the dead of night, Eating innocents brings them delight. Although all is not well, In this world many still dwell. For it has existed since the first sun age, Even through Minas Tirith’s siege. Battles rage and in the end I stand alone, Within a world to some still unknown. Was it all just a wondrous dream? O how real it did seem! Or is it that without more than one believer, This world cannot linger…? Yeah, ok, I know I stink at writing rhyming poems but this was a good attempt.... *weak smile* -Ryuu :dragon4:
Archaneus Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 I'm confused. You say you stink at writing rhyiming poems? I didn't smell any foul odors on this one. Seriously this is very good. Great work, and please pleasure us with more poems.
