Oh, dear. (Birdie prepares to duck). I generally think Tolkien's poetry is his "weak point" (Birdie ducks!). Great prosemaster, though!

If pushed to choose one, it would have to be Frodo's ode to Gandalf that he wrote in Lorien. I'll leave it to others to look it up.

Of course, to be fair, I have not read "Bombadil" or others of Tolkien's poetry collections, so maybe I should reserve judgement.
