Lord of the Rings Haiku
November Poem A Day Challenge, 2020
Here are my Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (LOTR) haiku poems. These were created as part of a poem-a-day challenge. The quotations contain the name of the prompt for that day.
“Enter”
Doors stronger than stone
Something lurking in the pool
Speak “Friend” and enter
“Unexpected”
Food’s gone, dishes clang
An unexpected party
Something Tookish stirs
"Dream or Nightmare"
Denethor's house dreams
Of doom and Isuldur's Bane
Yet a Halfling stands
"(blank) Myself"
By myself I can’t
Destroy the One Ring’s power
We need Fellowship
"Ruin"
Hope lies in ruin
The cracks reveal a new path
Eucatastrophe
"In Medias Res"
Gandalf is falling
Balrog’s fiery scourge latches
The beast does not pass
"This Time"
This time I'll gets it
Sneaky little hobbitses
What's in pocketses?
"Color"
A blade of the elves
Glowing blue within its sheath
There are orcs nearby
"Nice and/or Mean"
What’s a Bagginses?
Sneaky little hobbitses
Wicked, tricksy, false!
"Confession"
Pippin confesses
He took hold of the Orthanc
Secrets are revealed
"Target"
Enemies seek one
Elvish target in the trees
Swoosh, and all is dark
"Bird"
Ancient breed of thrush
Breaks his snail shell on grey stone
The dragon soon stirs
