Happy Birthday Professor  by Llinos 17 Review(s)

I love this poem so much; no matter how many times I read it I get a sort of tingle and a little teary because it's such a perfect tribute to Tolkien and a perfect thank-you for all of the pleasure he has given to so many of us. I think this poem truly conveys what is in the hearts of those of us that love his work so much and it's just stunning how 'Sam' has managed to capture that love in just the right words. Thanks for saying what so many of us feel but don't have the proper words to express ourselves!

This is really charming, Llinos!

Oh and thanks for the ale and pipeweed too.

Hobbits and their appreciation for simple pleasures.... LOL!

Sam's rustic, self-effacing wisdom shines here. Nicely done!

I went straight to the poem without reading the credits! My apologies. Sam did a wonderful job as well!

I'm speechless...but only for a moment. ;-) It's beautiful...warm, tender, and is perfect for celebrating the Professor and his hobbits. Your poem says everything I wish I could say and more. Enjoyed each verse and every word. Thank you for sharing it. :-)

I don't get on LJ much anymore, so this will be a first read for me, then. :-) Onward I go...

Cosy homes with big round doors,
You made them ours, these tales of yours.


Cheers to the Professor! And thank you, Llinos and Sam, for such a lovely tribute.
