I got bored of writing my story (shameless plug: go to my blog if you want to be included) so I wrote a poem about the part in the Battle of Pelennor Fields when the Rohirrim arrive.

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’

But the clouds swept over and all grew dim
