A/N: Wow, thank you so much, readers! I never imagined that this poetry collection would acquire 100 reviews, so thanks. I appreciate all the comments, advice, and encouragement.
I'd like to especially thank my two anonymous reviewers, Arien Arlorwen and the guest reviewer. Thank you for your reviews. To answer your questions Arien, in the "Boromir" poem, I meant that Boromir is Isildur's true heir in spirit, in that Boromir makes the same mistake that Isildur does by trying to take the Ring rather than allowing it to be destroyed. And in the "Bilbo" poem, the line about the Ring's demise was about how Bilbo's ability and willingness to give up the Ring of his own will led to the Ring's destruction. It was a pretty monumental thing for a Ring-bearer of sixty years to do, and I wanted to show how important that seemingly small act was in that line of the poem. And in answer to the guest reviewer's question, yes, Dernhelm is the name that Éowyn takes when she's disguised as a Rider in the books. I don't believe that name is ever mentioned in the movies though. I hope that answers your questions – thanks for asking!
By far, Pippin was the most requested character for the next poem, so thank you to Lyrical Ballads, Maethorelen, Aria Breuer, Inkweaverabc, Booknerd101, and the anonymous reviewer for inspiring "Peregrin". Enjoy! – SG
Peregrin
Paladin's son made a company of three
Even the youngest, new courage can find
Ring-bearer's cousin joins the Ring company
Escaping captive leaves a leaf brooch behind
Gaze of the Dark Lord brings a hobbit's heart fear
Ruler of Gondor a new Guard will require
In Halls of the Dead, he must save Faramir
New Captain of hobbits scours the Shire
