Disclaimer – Mmmn, having a strange sense of repetitiveness… Oh yeah, I know why, we've don't this before – Me – No – Tolkien. Alas, 'twas never to be…
A/N – Hello there people! Right , here are – wait, let me count – thirty! Yes, thirty little five line rhymes, that I wrote a long time ago, and just remembered I had, so I thought you guys might want to read them. They're on people, places and horses, because let's face it, horses so totally rule. So, here we go – Enjoy! Oh, one more thing – the Asfaloth one. I know he was actually Glorfindel's horse, but basically Arwen fits much better. Sorry all you Glorfy fans!

Aragorn Elessar
By many names in different lands,
From whistling trees to shifting sands,
His heart to the eve,
Though he knows she should leave;
The crown shall soon come to his hands.
Éowyn
My heart it yearns for battle cries,
For bloodied lads beneath the skies,
A sword to kill,
To show my skill,
But a woman in battle shall never be tried.
Helm's Deep
Wizard's army comes,
Hear their pounding drums,
Night closes in,
Let the battle begin! –
The dawn shall not come for some.
Elladan and Elrohir
Two twins, two sons, in Rivendell,
Where Elrond Half-Elven the Healer dwells,
Elladan and Elrohir,
With Rangers roaming far and near,
Their horses ringing with silver bells.
Lothlorien
More fair than thoughts of mortal men,
In Golden Wood, in Lorien,
Galadriel, the Lady bright,
Shining like the morning's light,
In Elvendom, through forest glen.
Rohan
Rolling plains of gold and green,
Mighty halls afar are seen,
Their horses fair,
Not to compare,
Valiant men through the ages they've been.
Mirkwood
The Last Royal Family dwelleth here,
Where shadows have been drawing near,
The forest green,
By evil seized -
Shall the price for freedom be dear?
Minas Tirith
White towers in the morning sun,
Seven levels to overcome,
Silver trumpets ringing clear,
Calling home all who are near,
Some day a King returning to their throne.
Rivendell
Tumbling waters pouring down,
Elven singing all around,
The Evenstar,
Clear from afar,
Her brothers making trouble abound.
Fangorn Forest
More ancient than the Elven Halls,
Still standing while their holding falls,
Older than skies,
Within it lies,
Deep secrets, it will always stand tall.
Legolas
Elven Prince from woodland land,
Swift to laugh yet fell with hand,
Sunlit hair,
Elven fair,
As golden as the beaches sand.
Mordor
Darkened skies defy the light,
Casting land in ever night,
No hope lives on,
All good is gone,
All cowers in the mountains might.
Gondor
Between the mountains and the sea,
It stands defiant, fighting free,
Front line of war,
It's ever bourn,
The brunt of Sauron's malignity.
The Shire
A farming land yet free from toil,
With gentle folk and well tilled soil,
With rivers, fields,
And harvest yields,
And merriment and good friends loyal.
Faramir
Brother to him who was killed,
His wise mind yet in battle skilled,
A valiant man,
Doing what he can,
To earn respect from his father still.
Shadowfax
Silver as the morning dew,
Old and yet a spirit new,
Wild and fey,
Yet came the day,
He was tamed by wizard whose ways he knew.
Brego
A coat of deepest auburn red,
His first master now lieth dead,
A war horse brave,
Saved from watery grave
Lord Aragorn; from then by lord was lead.
Asfaloth
Elven steed from Rivendell,
Where his mistress Arwen dwells,
Saved at the Ford,
Arwen with her sword,
Frodo from the Nazgul fell.
Paths of the Dead
None have walked that path for long,
Beneath the mountain; what goes on?
The old men's ghosts,
Who failed their oath,
Yet linger while Isildur is gone.
The Grey Havens
The furthest refuge in Middle Earth,
Where the fair folk leave the land of their birth,
White ships like swans,
Depart ever on,
Leaving mortal lands with little mirth.
Isengard
The tower black stands strong and tall,
A place for stargazing before its fall,
Saruman's fort,
His battle fought,
He sinks to darkness, his prison stall.
Boromir
A warrior brave and a loyal heart;
Yet the Ring corrupted him from the start.
Could not withstand,
Without golden band;
He was felled in battle by blackened darts.
Elrond
As Half-Elven known, and healer famed,
His refuge lasting through the age;
A wise, fair mind,
With love inside,
Aragorn he held as a son and raised.
Gollum
A creature withered, tortured, old,
When he stole the Ring his soul he sold,
Ever yearning for the Precious,
A hunger greater than all measures,
Yet his part in the tale would for ages be told.
Sauron
The Deceiver of all Middle Earth;
Though not evil from his birth,
The Rings he commands,
With vice like arms,
Though the One he holds above all worth.
Denethor
Once a man both great and wise,
Who saw wide and far with piercing eyes;
Fallen to madness,
Driven by sadness,
Upon the flaming pyre he died.
Théoden
An aged old King of a mighty land,
Who suffered greatly at Saruman's hand;
To battle rode he,
Restored and free,
Snowmane proved his bane in the end.
Prince Imrahil
From Dol Amroth the fair he rode,
With five hundred knights upon the road;
To Gondor's aid,
Foremost he came,
A Prince and soldier, not overly bold.
Pippen
Nor more a mere hobbit from the Shire;
For now his perils grow ever dire;
In Gondor's hour,
He found his power,
And saved Lord Faramir from his pyre.
Merry
More courageous than song could ever tell,
Renowned for the creature he aided to fell,
Yet a hobbit still,
Though the Witch King was killed,
And with pipe and weed he contented well.
