I seem to be stuck on BD in my acrostics The following piece was a part of BD Birthday celebration wish, but now it seems to be proper to post it here:


Be ye cheerful, be ye mirthful
Ale be flowing, sing ye gleeful
Rare be anger, beef be roasting
Real be made yer table boasting
Oft be singing, rare be weeping
Wood be burning, bones be heaping
Dark be fearless, stars be shining
Oft together ye'll be dining
Wights be feasting, minstrels derry
Night be dancing, morn be merry
Sing ye joyful, sing together!

Silmaril

Excellent work Heren (and everyone else, of course). I'd completely forgotten about this thread...

From flowering vales he rode
Onward to Minas Tirith
Realizing not he'd n'er return.
Long shall he be remembered,
Old and brave as he was.
Never giving up, he fought 'til death, before the
Gates of the City of Stone.

Not my best work, but it's attempt Number 3 and I kind of like it.

Attack of the rabid Leggy-bopper

Not that great, but it's something...

Lady, do not come near me
Ere you do, I'll shoot!
Go away! I don't want a concubine!
Oh, if only Orlando Bloom were here to take her away from me...
Leave me alone, I said!
Aaah! Look behind you! Orcs!
Silly fangirl... fare thee well!

Oh, Ithaeliel, that was great!

Okay, I want to try this. Don't kill me for this one, even though my acrostic doesn't REALLY cover an actual LOTR character.

Forever silent
In the Last Homely House.
Going nowhere, saying nothing.
Who am I?
I cannot say.
There is nothing I can say.

Yes, it's stupid and the last line was corny. But Figwit is my hero. I like being different, and nobody has talked about poor Figgy yet. Maybe when I have another minute I'll write another one.

M y
A vatar is
E lrond wearing
G lasses

(How's that for a signature?)

<--- this is my 100th post!! Wheee!

Silmaril The Secret Thoughts of Figwit

In honor of Maeg, who liked my first acrostic...

Frodo looks awfully ill today...
Is that dwarf a girl? Oh, please.
Gandalf thinks he's such a smarty-pants... what a loony!
What time was our lunch break supposed to be again?
I'm about to smack someone with this chunk of lembas!!!
Thank Iluvatar, they finally ended the meeting!

That's great, Ithaeliel!

Many paths he has trod,
Even though he is one of the "wee folk"!
Rohan's king he served,
Rohan's livery he wore.
Yet his heart stayed in the Shire.

Hmm, I like that one!
