This thread shall live!

Something really annoying happened.

I was going through my poem when I noticed the name "Morgoth" and remembered it was Sindarin! So I looked it up, and the Quenya form is Moringotto. Which presents a problem because now I need to alter the lines to rhyme. Grrr. Moral: Always check proper names.

Yes. Ahem.

Anyway, my poem is now 30 odd lines long and hasn't even reached Alqualonde (which is what it's meant to be about!) yet. Brace yourselves for an epic. It's not that bad actually - most of the lines are about two or three words long. I might cut it short a little and stop just before Alqualonde though.
