ElvenFairMaidenReviewed Chapter: 1 on 5/29/2004
Wow! These poems are great...I am writing a whole series of the thoughts of the Fellowship during their long and tiresome journey to Mount Doom. You have a good talent in writing poetry, keep it up!

Author Reply: Why thank you!

I have another series (albeit only 4) poems finished that I will be posting soon...Please do read the other Fellowship poems and the new ones as well and please let me know what you think!

Destined to lead as
Future Steward of Gondor
Her bright shining star

So sad! What a tragedy that Boromir's shining destiny was cut short.

Author Reply: Oh I agree - it was a shame - but you know I have to wonder if Boromir's death, like Denethor's, was perhaps the best thing for where Aragorn was concerned.

I believe Boromir would have followed Aragorn but you have to wonder once he was back with his father, would Denethor have influenced Boromir to turn against Aragorn again?

Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Oooh, nice. You give us an adult, thoughtful Frodo, making the only choice he could make.

Author Reply: Thank you, shirebound, for your review!

Author Reply: P.S. - Please do read and review the other poems I have posted!

*deep breath* I think they are good, but haiku really isn't my style. *twitch* In other words...Love the content, Hate the form. But you did a better job than I could have done.

Author Reply:

Thanks - I think...

And technically I am writing poems based off of haiku form but they're not haikus as I have too many syllables in the verses...

oh double groovy!I have yet to read Boromir's verses but I say Aragorn's are the best yet,dont mean to be rude but any hint when Legolas's poem is arriving?

Author Reply:

OakWolf,

Hi - thank you for your kind reviews and your comments!

And to answer your question about when I wil post the verses for Legolas, well his will come last as I want to post Gimli’s next and I included a quote from the appendices in the back of “The Return of the King” and I think it is an appropiate place to end this set of poems.

I cannot say on exactly what day I will post the Legolas poem as I am not planning on posting the last two poems together but it will be posted around Sunday or Monday if I had to guess...

Thanks again!

Those were all beautiful. I love poetry like yours, especially when I already know the characters so well. I will definitely look forward to reading the other four character poems.

Author Reply:

Thank you, Lera!

Stay tuned, the next two poems will be posted on May 25th in honor of the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King onto DVD!

Thank you - and gosh I am honored that I touched you with my writing!

The next haiku will debut on Thursday and most likely posted sometime after midnight if SoA remains up until after that time!

Thank you again!

Very nice! A capsule biography. You capture so much, in such an economy of words.

Laid to rest by
Pippin’s side in Rath Dínen
Among Gondor’s Kings

It still makes me catch my breath.

Awwwww, thanks!

I guess these aren't the same... I don't remember reading this one before.

Faithful companion
Through Mordor’s trials and fires
Hope ever ablaze

"Hope ever ablaze", what an apt description. And the last line, of his reunion with Frodo, was fitting.

Author Reply:

*grins*

Nope this is an entire new collection of haikus, separate from the Grey Shores and Other LOTR haikus...

Oh yes Hope ever ablaze was such an apt and I wonder nearly perfect desciption of Sam...

And always I must write of Frodo and Sam's reunion in the West because I thoroughly believe they saw one another again...

Thanks again!
