Calling all poets! I'm calling this a LOTR Poem event. I recently wrote a poem about the Rohirrim's arrival at Pelennor, and I think everybody should write their own poems. The idea is that you post your poem's title in the comments of this thread, then post the poem on you blog. In your comment leave a link to your blog or just state that the poem is posted on you blog. I've posted my poem below if you want inspiration. Let your inner Homer flow through you!



At the light of the dawn the Rohirrim went

To Gondor they rode with all their men spent

Upon the great field the horses made halt

The sun  gleamed brightly with flavor like salt

And the king rode forth whom gallantly strode

‘Arise!’ He cried ‘Arise my sons!’

‘Doom soon shall come to the orcs and their kin’

<span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">But the clouds swept over and all grew dim

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The king then spoke of their brothers in peril

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The Rohirrim doubted and fear filled their hearts

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">But Theoden, their king, called for the bard

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And the great horn hath blast upon the plain of Pelennor

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The foul beasts then turned their eyes to war

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And lifted their halberds, lances, and swords

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">There, Theoden cried ‘To Glory!’ ‘To Death!’

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And the Rohirrim answered

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">‘To Glory my king!’ ‘To death we ride!’

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">‘Death!’said Theoden

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And the Rohirrim chanted with great pride

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">‘Death!’ cried Theoden once more with his sword raised

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The Rohirrim chanted

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The horn was blown with glory and rage

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;">

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Upon this came the charge

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And hoof-beats hath bound to the earth

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Whose sound spread like a plague

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And once again the horn was blown with glory and rage

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And the foul things were frightened by the great sound they listened to hear

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">So they fled from the plain in their cowardly fear

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">And Gondor was saved by the Rohirrim’s Wrath

<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;font-size:14px;line-height:1.38;text-align:center;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">So Isildur’s kingdom would not stray from its path
