I thought I would share my latest attempt at ME poetry, I do apologise, it's nothing special but it's the first i've posted on here and starting a new thread will give all those "good" poets out there a chance to share their work too.

This one tells of the Legend of the Ring (now has second part thanks to study leave)------>

The Legend of the Ring

"Some time ago in a forgotten place
A dark lord dreamed to govern every race,
And in order to gain all his land
The dark lord created a golden band.

A Dwarven seven and Mortal nine
An Elven three with powers divine,
But twenty was the final score
One more was made tells ancient lore.

One ring to rule above all the rest
And put each creature to his test.

Until an alliance of elves and men
Came face to face with his dark ten,
Nine mortal men doomed to die
And the dark lord to rule them all on high.

The battle raged as they fell one by one
Until the dark lord's deed was done,
But men resisted and elves wouldn't fail
Middle Earth's fate upon one male.

Isildur raised his father's blade
And with that blow the rings power unmade,
Sauron defeated but spirit not gone
The legend of the ring would forever live on."
