Måns, that was beautiful [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]! It was wonderful considering that it was just a rough translation. Please keep writing more!

I am very sorry that I didn't post my poetry like I said I would, but I was gone on vacation for 2 weeks, and then just didn't have the time to transfer my poetry to this computer (I wrote it on another). I tried to take out all the dumb ones, but some may have managed to slip through, so please forgive me.They're all really short because all I can write are haikus. Anyway, here they all are.

The Great Journey
Bright light of Aman
but green forests are so fair
a choice lies ahead

Ainulindale
Beautiful and yet
So terrible all at once
The divine music

Andunië
Sunset in the west
the painted sky lingers on
home of the Faithful

Shelob
The malevolent
spawn of Ungoliant sits
watching and waiting

Nessa
Dancing joyfully
on Almaren, the deer come
to dance along too

Tulkas
Mighty in Battle
the possessor of great strength
yet always laughing

Vairë
Story of the world
ever-changing tapestry
the days are woven

Mandos
Sternly judging all
the doomsman of the Valar
pities only once

Ulmo
Lord of the waters
the powerful waves crash
plunging to the deeps

Estë
The healer of Lórellin
bringing sweet rest to the world
the gentle lady

Amarië of the Vanyar
Finrod’s beloved
not fated to journey far
refusing exile

Lúthien
Tinúviel sings
enchanting in Doriath
doomed to be mortal

The Sickle of the Valar
Swinging in the North
challenging he who would dare
the Valacirca

Castamir the Usurper
Curse you, usurper,
for stealing the crown from those
who deserve it more

Dews of Telperion
Shining and twinkling,
the dews of Telperion
rekindle the stars

The Shire’s Mallorn
The only mallorn
west of the Hithaeglir and
east of Belegaer

Tol Morwen
Stone of the hapless
cannot be thrown down, even
when the world is changed

Nirnaeth Arnoediad
The unnumbered tears
brings grief to the hearts of all
so many are lost

Azaghâl
Wounding the dread worm
king of the mighty fortress
amid the tears

Balrog
Dark flame of Udûn
bane to more than just Durin
scourges of fire

Irmo
The garden-keeper
dream bringer of Lórien
master of spirits

Manwë
Dearest to Eru
Súlimo, lover of birds
wisest of Valar

Huan
Ever-faithful one
the wolfhound of the Valar
loving to the end
