Acrostics About the Balrog
Bane of dwarf king Durin
All fire is its light
Lies deep and forgotten
Raises up in the night
Of this he was fearful
Gandalfs last greatest fight
- Isilmë
Balrog’s great
Against nine
Lonely mates
Rotten mine
Olorin’s fate
Goes supine
- Isilmë
Bold
Ancient
Lethal
Rival
Of
Gandalf
- Isilmë
Blackest dwelling beneath
All known passages,
Labyrinth terror, holder of
Raging fire and sulferous smoke
Overwhelming
Gimli's kin.
