Disclaimer: I do not own the Lord of the Rings, nor do I own the poem "Stopping By Woods On Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. I wish I had that poetic genius... not fair...

Authors note: I'm spoofing one of my favorite poems! HEHEHEHEHEHHEHE!

Stopping By Caves During Battle

During the battle in Helm's Deep, Gimli is wounded and finds himself in the Glittering Caves. As he wanders about he begins to put his emotions into verse.

Whose caves these are, I think I know.

His house is called Meduseld though,

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his caves glitter and glow.

My elven-friend does think it queer

To stop and gaze at the caves here

In the hills used for refuge sake

While fierce battle is raging near.

I give my weary head a shake

To make sure there is no mistake

About these caves in old Helm's Deep,

Then enter for my life's at stake.

The caves are lovely, dark, and deep

But I have promises to keep

And orcs to kill before I sleep.

And orcs to kill before I sleep.
