I write poetry, and am currently working on rewriting the hobbit as a poem. I started in the middle and what I have so far is:
Teeth and eggses, fish and time,
answers to riddles asked in rhyme,
a promise broken, an underground chase,
escape through a door left only one trace.
Buttons scattered upon the ground,
then running away without making a sound.
A surprise for companions then traveling on,
onward until the light was gone,
to find the lonely mountain tall,
where dragon slept in hidden hall.
There lay the mighty dragon Smaug,
looking like a flying frog,
A stolen cup Smaug's wrath awoke,
and part of the mountain went up in smoke.
I probably will change it a lot before I'm finished, and add more of the parts that I left out, like the eagles.
