| Sorry, I don't think a former foe who came because of greed and not because of need, should be friend to a soldier of Gondor. | |

| This is a very powerful piece. I loved the twist that the OC is NOT a soldier of Gondor. Is this in the challenge? How did I miss it? The poem brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for writing this. Lindorien Author Reply: Thank you. This is nothing to do with any challenge. Your first story linked with 'In Flanders Field' just made me think about WW1 poetry and LOTR. Oddly, one of the first stories I put on the site (I really haven't been doing this very long) was linked with the poem 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon. Strange how things connect. This is, I suppose, a minor poem by a minor poet - but I have always found it impossible to read without becoming tearful. Another similar (even more) minor poem is 'The Armistice' by May Wedderburn Cannan. | |
