Hello peoples!  In my Shakespeare class, we had to write a sonnet about love.  So I did one on Gollum's love/hate relationship with the One Ring of Power.  This is my first attempt at any kind of poetry, so go easy on me.  I've never done anything like this before.  Hope you like it!

~My Precious~

My love, my precious love, my precious ring

It came to me from the river so deep

Calling it sang, its sweet, sweet song, my ring

With me it stays, always in sight and sleep.

It shines like gems and golds of Dwarves' deep mines

Catching the eye of all who see its light

Like rays of sun of flowers bright it shines

My precious ring, to me it does excite.

My ring, it gives me power none can hold

It hides me from enemies, and gives me eat

Yet eats me it does, ever to enfold

Inside the Dark Lord's power at his feet

Evil's inside me, how I hate that ring!

My love, my precious love, my precious ring.
