| Oh, poor Glorfi! Does Elrond have any convinient rocks for him to crawl under and hide? Hm, yes, Erestor does have a lot to answer for! Lynda | |

| I think this is wonderful. Poor Glorfindel, yet another inaccurate song. This is one of the many reasons I don't want to be famous. | |

| This is so very good. The rhyme scheme and rhythm track so nicely...I do fear for Erestor, :) :) :) Vi | |

| I read the "more historically accurate", version but still found I preferred your "hysterically accurate" form. Thank you. The older I get, the more events from my younger days I would prefer to let slide into obscurity - how much more would an elf have to ponder? And an elf pre-stamped with "Hero, Balrog-slayer, living legend" would probably overhear more than one "discussion" on his life/prowess. Thank you!. Author Reply: Thanks for the nice review. Actually, I debate whether to keep the "more historically accurate" version up at all. It's the version I started with, and then I asked myself, "What would poor Glorfindel make of this?" | |

| This was truly funny! The poem itself was completely Tolkienesque in tone, rhythm, and use of words. You captured the earnest nature of young Estel's hero worship beautifully. I could just see him warming to his subject as he approached the great contest with the Balrog. And the humorous struggle between Glorfindel and Elrond was a gentle echo of the heroic fight; a good story-telling technique. But I liked the poem in its context best of all. Very nice job! Regards - Chathol-linn Author Reply: I'm so glad you found it Tolkienesque! That was the ultimate compliment. | |

| Brilliant!!! Poor Glorfindel - it had me laughing. I'd always wondered how much of the great songs would have been made up, I suppose it's like *our* heroes - Robin Hood and all that lot, except that he's not around to correct them :D I'd love to find out what Glorfindel's revenge was... Author Reply: Yes, I think all great legends must grow in the telling over the years - it would be odd if the original hero was around to correct the mistakes. A Glorfindel "revenge" fic is simmering in the back of my mind. When it's ready, I'll post it here. | |

| Hi, Antogone! snort! Poor Glorfindel... but I hope Erestor will get his one time, too. This was very amusing and very well written, and I can see it happen in the "Light In May" universe anytime, too. Very funny! Thank you! Aislynn Author Reply: I had it in mind as taking place just after the dinner table scene in chapter 7, although, as you say, it could take place any time. | |

| Wow, Antigone, that is incredible! I am impressed that you wrote that whole song yourself -- very nicely done! But what I especially love is your imaginative glimpse into a scene that might well have happened, but no one has written about before. Glorfindel's reactions seem just right, and I can just see Estel being so proud of himself! Very funny! Thank you! - Barbara P.S. A subtle hint to your Muse: I, too, would love to see a sequel where Glorfindel confronts or takes revenge upon Erestor... Author Reply: Thanks. I started to write one of those Glorfindel-fought-the-Balrog poems, and then thought to myself, "What on earth would poor Glorfindel think, having to listen to this?" | |
