Author's Note
Middle-earth, its places, and characters are owned by Tolkien. I am not an experienced poet, so do not be surprised if this doesn't have a clear form. This is written from the perspective of an Elf who was formerly from Eregion. Please review and tell me what you think.
Eregion, Land of Holly,
The trees were singing,
And children, laughing.
oOo
We went there in hope,
Hope of a new start,
Where we could live away from the dark.
oOo
But Dark followed us there,
Veiled as light;
That light was a lie, so Eregion died.
oOo
Conflict he caused,
Dividing peoples,
'Til they were loyal to him without any thought.
oOo
He imparted his power,
Into several small rings,
That he bound to his spirit for eternity.
oOo
These he desired more than anything,
So when they were withheld,
He came ravaging.
oOo
Came an army of orcs,
Many more than the Elves,
But when he resisted Celebrimbor was felled.
oOo
At last they found safety in fair Rivendell,
That secretive valley,
But they nearly did fall.
oOo
There they withstood the great orc force,
Until they were rescued,
By friends and Numenor.
oOo
Now few remember,
The glorious days ,
When one could sing gladly and laugh in the shade.
oOo
Eregion, Land of Holly,
I will remember,
Your days of glory.
