The beginning of Ashes and Blue Roses, Part 6 is inspired by the song "Notes/Prima Donna" from the film and soundtrack, "The Phantom of the Opera." The second scene in Part 6 is inspired by the tracks "Journey to the Cemetery" and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," also from the same soundtrack and film. I will inform you, the readers, now this whole idea for these poems and the main story itself was sparked by the second scene in this part of this fanfiction poem collection.


Part 6

The very next morning, when things were quiet
Various notes appeared, all from the "mysterious" seductress
Sam and the tween could not keep these notes silent
From Bilbo, the Sackville-Baggins got involved, expecting to address

The conditions of Bag End, where then was Frodo, Bilbo's heir?
The tween was desperate to find out where her newly found friend
Ran off to this time, Sam told her to stay behind
With Bilbo, while he went in search of his master, who he cared

As a friend. So, Sam went to Bywater and found a pony
In a nearby stable. The pony was in need of attention, it was lonely
Sam, without thinking, rode across the countryside
He asked around to where Frodo had gone, onwards did he stride

Before dawn, Frodo rode by carriage towards Buckland
He needed to find the place where his parents' burial mound was kept
He knew there were answers his parents had about the seductress, her ill stance
After almost four days, Frodo arrived at the site, he dared not step

On the mounds, for he knew well to pay those passed on
With respect. An abrupt turn brought Frodo to his parents' mound
He walked slowly towards it, without hearing a voice or sound
Ever shifting was the stone, as if the hobbit was entering a tomb, beyond

Into the midst of secrets, he long had hoped his parents would tell him
When they were still alive, everything he wished to hear
He was at his wit's end: would the seductress leave him, including his kin?
Frodo was unsure: his thoughts were too detracted from reality, the seer

The seductress, the hobbit woman he knew nine years ago
All he needed to know was her reasons, her motives behind what she'd done
Then, as if a distant echo answered his prayers, his sown
Desires to know why, the woman begged for his return, to come

Into her grasp, with open arms
Frodo nearly fell for her trap, hadn't Sam come in time
Before it was too late, the seductress was starved
With revenge and hunger for pity, loving blind

Faults and regrets, this was her third resort
So, the woman fought Sam with intensity so clean
Before the gardener had her pinned down, while still in the morgue
Frodo stopped Sam with his words, freely giving pity to the seductress' means

Sam dragged Frodo away from the woman, moments before she crept
Towards the two hobbit tweens, as they fled on pony
The seductress' luck was now spent
Her revenge was stirring, nothing seemed too gory

In her eyes yet seduction, she knew, was important
To bring Frodo Baggins to her
She would wait until a party, sorted
Out by hobbits and Big Folk, where she would make her grand return
