Eagles of Manwë
From the thought of Manwë and from the free sky Song of soaring heavenly space far and high Eagles were born, majestic wings and free cry Star shining brightly
Nests in clouds and all-seeing eyes that can pierce Shrouds of shadow, attack it with talons fierce Eagles' song sounds, knowing no darkness and fears Thorondor mighty
World is reshaped, cry of the eagles still sounds Mountaintops white - Gwaihir Windlord there soars Did not forget Manwë the sorrows and tears Middle-earth's Children
I tried to write a poem about the Great Eagles, created by J.R.R.Tolkien in a sapphic verse. (Quite difficult form for me in English)
B2MeM prompts: O64: sapphic (poetic forms) N32: Rare characters (Landroval) - the topic of the poem was inspired by this prompt, although I didn't manage to include him...
