A/N: Well, this is the first fanfiction (fan-poem o_O) I've written in a while, I had a really strong urge to write something.
Dwarf woman in Tolkien's world don't get nearly enough coverage (yes, 'not nearly enough' as in none at all.) so, I have attempted to write a poem about a character I made up, yes, an original character set in Tolkien's world. I know this will put (some) people off. I'm the only one who's read this through and beta'd etc.
Please Review, I'd like to know what people think, if I did well, if I didn't, I'm asking for constructive criticism! Any comments welcome.
Lady Fire-AxeLady Fire-Axe, strong and gay
Fair of touch when metal making
In the dark mountain, she shone like day
Jewel's like fruits from stone trees a taking
But none of these she wanted, living far away
In mountains long forgotten, in a long passed over time
Her desire was a weapon, fit only for a queen, to use as she may
To lay aside all enemy's, a shining axe sublime
Long years this thought did haunt her
In dreams and waking hours
A forge her people had, the fire hot forever
In this burning forge, she melted steel of power
She worked for days and nights, on this great endeavour
When finally all was done, the thing she had created
The axe of steel, reflecting flame shining on forever
Lady Fire-Axe's vision here, her heart and mind placated
The axe of fire and steel, that gave her song and fame.
