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:
Once you complete the challenge, you may save today's image or copy the code below to display your passport stamp wherever HTML is acceptable. To have your stamp added to your passport, please comment on this post.

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! :)

Is there something wrong with the link to this post from the corresponding SWG Archive page or is it just me who gets an error message? Not that it's likely to be a real problem for anyone...

I can't however fix it at Many Paths to tread..
