I've tried my hand on two short poems (I won't give the originals here, cause I'm sure you know them. And if you don't, well you should

)

1. Theoden's battle cry before taking on the Pellenor:

Cower down, cower down, servants of Sauron!
Frail hearts, sleep on, and beg for your lives,
Weapons shall be put down, your bones shall be spared.
A truce night, a grey night, and so the moon will set.
Crawl then, crawl then, crawl to Mordor.

2. Eomer's defiant cry on the Pellenor:

Into trust, into radiance, till the sun set,
Silently I walked in the dark, unarmed
I crawled to despair's bosom, with a glad heart,
Then there was quiet, and peace, and a white dawn.
