March 21: Mirkwood
Catch glimpses of the dangerous Spiders of Mirkwood! See the fortress palace of King Thranduil! Go whitewater barreling down the River Running!
Today's Challenge:
We were young, we were merry, we were very, very wise, And the door stood open at our feast, When there passed us a woman
with the West in her eyes, And a man with his back to the East.
-Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
The words West and East are often used in the works of Tolkien. Write a story or poem or create an artwork that uses these
words as the central focus, whether as cardinals, regions, or as metaphors.
Passport Stamp:

Happy spring to everyone in the north! And happy autumn to those of you in the south who are doubtlessly ready to be rid of the summer heat! :)
