User blog:Beauhunt III/Haliatus

This is a sonnet that briefly describes an old friend of mine.

A cheery creature is what hobbits are,

Overflowing with mirth, with much to spare.

But when one looks over the merry bar,

One might perceive the outcast of this lair.

5            Haliatus Took is not quite the same,

For the Tooks must have a queer heritage.

“Traviatus” is a play on his name,

On account of his long, well known passage,

Where he was mistakenly presumed dead.

10          Yet, he is the wealthier of this throng,

And not just in gold, silk, & other thread.

One adage describes this prickly prong:

“Peace is his foe, Adventure his comrade.”

So hobbits say, but who knows this Nomad?
