A/N: So! This is going to be a set of Lord of the Rings inspired poems with no regular updating schedule. I LOVE writing poems, especially LOTR poems, especially while I'm supposed to be doing Algebra. Like right now, I am procrastinating doing useless problems by sharing my art with the world... :D
Accidental Heroes
The morning dawns on happy lands
A walking stick held in his hands
Longing for breakfast he won't get
On into darkness, pit by pit
He goes from home to paradise
Then through dungeon, fire, and ice
To face a cloud of gloom and hate
An accidental hero's fate
Suffering evil, pain, despair
He fights to save what's pure and fair
On nothing more than word of lore
He travels to doom's very door
Many said he was too small
But he did it, wronged them all
A deadly-near inheritance
A journey far and then the end
But at last the Sun does rise
Shedding light on all the lies
Sweeping evil all away
A little hero's price it paid
Then this hero finds renown
But simply wants to see his home
So he travels back to start
In the green land of his heart
But his kinfolk call him queer
He saved them all, they think him weird
And on a morning after all
The magic harbor in the fall
Into the light of dawning day
The small, brave hero sails away.
Isn't that touching? *sniff* I almost cry every time I read that to someone. I absolutely love this poem. And I don't mean to brag, but I entered it in my county fair and it went to state fair! Oh, and I almost forgot... I'm sorry I virtually never update, but my life is crazier than you would believe. I do plan on updating my other set of ficlets soon. Next will probably be Elrond, but I need to work on his story...
Anyway, Nai garo glas! (May you have joy!)
