Well done, NK! Good meter and rhyming.

I reread the end of the Sil and loved the part about Maglor wandering and singing laments on the shores of the Sea, so I decided to try and write one... granted, it won't be in elvish, but it's pretty good so far. It's basically about everything that happened to Maglor and the deaths of his father and brothers through the curse of the Oath. I've only got around 40 lines so far... writing in couplets for a long while is hard! I tried to follow the style of the Lay of Leithian... let's just say that Tolkien was truly the master of rhymes.
