Goldberry's another one. She fits right in with Uinen. Could be a cousin. Re: the poems, one way to look at them is to consider them as being written by Hobbits. They're rustic and the bit about Goldberry's parents and the like could be "poetic license".
You have a 4 year old? Me too, but I'm not force feeding him Tolkien yet. I did get my 7 year old to start reading the Hobbit (had to get a special edition to do it, she wouldn't touch the ones I had -- Annotated Hobbit and an old 70's paperback).
--Mithadan--
"The Silmarils with living light
were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
