Author's Notes:

Disclaimer:  The wonderful language of Quenya and the tragic character of Celebrimbor the Ringmaker are the property of genial J.R.R.T. 

Disclaimer 2:  I am not Japanese and I am familiar with Japanese culture not nearly as well as I would like to be, so my haikus probably suck as haikus, but I tried to do my best.

Celebrimbor

Cruel are laws of life -

Children pay for the sins of the fathers.

Silver is tarnished.

Tyelperinquar

Nwalca ná axani cuilo,

Hilyar híni I tié atarion.

Tyelpë ná moilena.

***

- literal translation of the second line is "follow children the way of the fathers"
