Silmarillion Writers' Guild

For Hrymfaxe who asked for a poem about Mablung, after Niënor has run away from him and the other elves, and he has to return to Doriath and tell the news.

I hope this is something similar to what you wanted :)

Nienor is lost

( Nienor )

For ladyelleth who asked for a poem based on the following passage

"[Nerdanel] retired to her father's house; but when it became clear that Fëanor and his sons would leave Valinor for ever, she came before him before the host started on its northward march, and begged that Fëanor should leave her the two youngest, the twins, or at least one of them. He replied: "Were you a true wife as you had been till cozened by Aulë, you would keep them all, for you would be coming with us. If you desert me you desert also all of our children. For they are determined to go with their father." Then Nerdanel was angry and she answered: "You will not keep all of them. One at least will never set foot on Middle-earth." "Take your evil omens to the Valar who will delight in them," said Fëanor. "I defy them." So they parted."

Begging and betrayal.

( Begging )

For Nienna who gave me free hands in the poetry meme

A lullaby

Another two poems...

Beleg for Veet.


and Turin for Liritar. (thank you for the pretty icon)

Despite having other things to write (I counted unfinished stories recently and lets not go to the number of them :P) and even writing on them I decided to repost this once again. I miss writing poetry and my poetry muses are dormant, I suspect sulking over the summer that never came up here (drive 45 minutes in any direction and you get summer but not here).

If you are interested you I am contactable during the days (UK time) on yahoo and I check email now and then in evenings as well.

Repeat Poetry Meme
If you are interested in getting a gift poem, ideally based on a certain event/scene from LOTR or Silm, then leave me a comment with the details or send me an IM (ford_of_bruinen) to discuss the details. If you have other ideas what you want it themed on that too is welcome and I will do my best.

You can also email of course which is ford_of_bruinen @ yahoo.co.uk.

I will write your poems as soon as I can and do promise that no poem will take months on end this time, they may however take up to two weeks depending on time and muses and the difficulty of the scene.

I also invite other writers to join me in this, it could be fun :D
