This poem was already written in 2001/2002 – the very first I've ever written –, shortly after the release of the first movie. It was a project for my English class and the first half was what I handed in. Later I continued writing and so the second half came to be. Over the time it somehow went forgotten, I just recently discovered it again on my computer.
So now, enjoy reading and please take the time to leave a review. Thanks.
Part One: The Fellowship of the Ring
A Hobbit found the Ring years ago,
then he gives it to his nephew.
But one night the shadow of the past
is coming on horses over the grass.
Four Hobbits have to leave their home,
a few days later they meet a friend named Aragorn.
In a stormy night with rain
the Ring-bearer is hurt and feels strong pain.
His friends panic themselves
and they have to flee to the Elves.
The Council of Rivendell decides
that the Ring has to be destroyed.
The long way starts with sunrise.
The leader is Gandalf, the magician, grey and wise,
with him the Elf Legolas, agile and calm,
the Dwarf Gimli with his axe and helmet,
the two Men, Boromir and Aragorn whose mind failed never,
both they are proud and very clever,
at last the four Hobbits with food in their mouths:
In that Fellowship the Ring goes South.
Not long after leaving they arrive in Moria then,
there the creature Gollum is seen again.
After fighting against goblins for long
they lose Gandalf because of an enemy which is really strong.
With grief in their hearts the companions continue their way
and they reach the safe woods of Lothlórien the same day
where they are welcomed through the Lord and the Lady.
In the meantime the wizard Saruman gets his army ready.
It consists of Uruk-hais which are bred,
the power Saruman now has, drives him mad.
Having got from the Elves a helpful note
the Fellowship continues its way by boat.
Soon the friends arrive at a great lake
where they want to make a break.
They are surprised by the attacking enemy
but the Ring-bearer Frodo manages to flee.
In spite of fighting there is great danger,
Boromir and two Hobbits can't be saved through the Ranger.
Merry and Pippin are taken away,
Boromir doesn't survive the day.
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli follow the captured friends
but Frodo and Sam make their way to the Dark Lands.
