| Do a search under Bodkin for her story about the New Years celebration. Elladan, Elrohir, and Legolas become determined the Elves of Aman need to appreciate the sacrifices that led to the final victory against Sauron. I think you will like it. Author Reply: Thanks, I will! ~~~~{~@ | |

| Man, where do you come up with such beautiful things? Poetry came much easier to me when I was a Star Wars fanatic but it doesn't now. What a loving tribute not only to Gandalf and his gifts but one of the greatest gifts Iluvatar bestowed upon Bilbo and all Middle-earth. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Doesn't come easy to me, Dearie;) and I think I got the idea of this one from you, at least indirectly, when I teased you about having something about Gandalf's fireworks in your story...then I thought, well, why don't I write a piece about the fireworks--so there you have it! lol I was also thinking about Sam's remark that there should have been a verse about the fireworks in the Elves' lament, and he came up with one himself which wasn't very good and he knew it...and so I thought to make one also. Glad it ended up being a halfway decent effort! And I bet you can make nice poetry, it just takes practice, lots of it, and a lot of reading of good poetry and some study of the mechanics. C'mon, you can do it;);) Thanks for commenting! hugs Armariel ~~~{~@ | |

| Last year it was Bodkin who made my day with Frodo represented by a great firework; this year it's you. Thank you for this tribute to our Fourth and Bilbo and Frodo's glorious legacy of transient yet lasting beauty. Author Reply: Why, you are most welcome, and thank YOU for the comments! I don't remember ever reading such a thing by Bodkin, but I would like very much to see it. (Bodkin does write beautifully!) I liked the idea of someone's inner magic being symbolized by the exuberant liberation of flaming colors and shapes across the night sky that fill viewers with childlike delight. Just wish I'd come up with it sooner, but promptness has never been any longsuit of mine, unfortunately.......... Thanks once more! ~~~{~@ | |

| An interesting juxtaposition of two of Bilbo's loves. I know I can never get enough of either one of them! In line 6, did you want "candies" or "candles"? Author Reply: Yes, that's "candies"...although I suppose "candles" could work also. I thought "sky candy" or "eye candy" in terms of fireworks, along with the "toys of flame" that delight both children and adults. I think I can't get enough either!:D Thanks for commenting. ~~~{~@ | |
