Well, we have song parodies to Middle Earth, character's theme songs, so why not poetry too?
So take a poem (or part of a poem, that would be much easier) and play with it to make it fit a character, a scene, something from Middle Earth! Here's what I came up with when I came across the poem "Fair Ines" by Thomas Hood. (Of course it was the line 'She's gone into the West' that started this whole idea
).
The original:
Oh! saw ye not fair Ines?
She's gone into the West,
To dazzle when the sun is down,
And rob the world of rest.
She took our daylights with her,
The smiles that we love best,
With morning blushes on her cheek
And pearls upon her breast (Thomas Hood)
Now this is Gimli's lament:
Oh! saw ye not Galadriel?
She's gone into the West,
She set off in the setting sun,
And robbed the world of rest;
She took our daylights with them,
The beauty we love best,
With songs beneath the starry skies,
And jewels on her breast.
