Acrostics? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bekah · 02-22-2004, 11:41 PM

Ever wanting to conquer
On the battlefield;
Weary of rebukes,
Yearning for glory,
Nazgul King she kills.

My try at an Eowyn acrostic.

Now I'll try to do the Fellowship.

Far from home the nine companions travel
Ever moving onwards to their destination -
Laboring to protect the hobbit whose closest friend
Longed to return home.
Over the hills and under the mountain...
Wanting to reclaim his ring
Smeagol followed the fellowship
High and low,
Into the very crack of Mount Doom,
Punching Frodo and biting off the ring he fell.

Oh help. That was pathetic, and had more to do with Gollum than anybody else....

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!

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.

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!

Maeggaladiel · 05-18-2004, 03:46 PM

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.

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

Morai · 05-18-2004, 04:48 PM

Okay here's another one:

Truly
Horrid
Evil

Only
Never
Evil looking

Rightly
Incredible
Never will it's effect be
Gone

I can see Frodo writting this for some reason....

Ithaeliel · 05-18-2004, 05:05 PM

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!
