Tolkien Haikus Chapter 11
Departure and Glorfindel
Disclaimer – We have no officially established the fact that none of this belongs to me...except the specific way these things are put together...(wanders off, mumbling about technicalities and other annoyances)
---
Ringbearers' last trip
Elven ship departs these shores
Fare ye well, my friends
---
Old friend from before
Great warrior of times gone
Glorfindel reborn

The last haiku expresses my belief that the elf named Glorfindel who
rescued the hobbits (NOT ARWEN!) is the same Glorfindel who died at
Gondolin in the first age. As far as I knpw, Tolkien never said whether or
not they were the same person, so I'm claiming artistic license.
