Cinquains for Frodo

Cinquains for Frodo

11 Cinquains for Frodo

Fireworks
Over the Shire;
Adventures and birthdays
Bilbo linked forever, blessing
And curse.

Bag End
Standing empty,
Memories abandoned,
Suddenly I'm crossing the map's
Edges.

Shiv'ring
on the cold ground;
There is ice in my soul.
"It has been too much for him..." I
Wonder...

The Ring
At the Council
so heavy in my palm;
Someday, on a mountain, I will
Take it.

Mithril
Within the mines,
A treasure to protect
One who wanders its darkened halls,
When pinned.

Laying
Upon the flet
What is it that you see?
Silver mallorn fouled by unclean
Hissing.

The stairs
And then the tunnel,
Smeagol, where have you gone?
Aiya Earendil...starglass lights
Horror.

Dear Sam,
I heard your song.
As though I were dreaming,
A memory of life, and now
You're here.

Always
He remembers
Your gentle hand on his,
Held as you lay down together
To die.

Sorrow
Mixed with joy, home
Returned, scarred and wounded.
Trees regrow, but not my heart, Sam;
Farewell.

Lift up
Your hand for me;
The light of Earendil's
Starlight shining through your fingers
Once more.

-Primula

Footfalls
winding upward
near silent steps
they falter as they near the top
climbing

Crossroad
the kings head lies
a crown of white flowers
they will not conquer forever as
night falls

Silence
i had forgot
the gentle sound of wind
and the simpler taste of song
and home.

Dark dreams,
that fill my sleep;
leading me to travel
with blinded eyes and silent tears
to ruin.

Spider
webbing surrounds
a lost soul lays hidden
an empty coccoon because IT
is gone.

- Dandy

Autumn
My pain returns
Remembrance of sharp knife
And his haggard face in the night
Goodbye

My friends
They will miss me
To know I am at peace
Will provide solace to their grief
In spring

- Shelob

My thoughts
Turn back to home
On a sunny day, grass
Beneath my feet, will I ever
Return?

- Bregalad

Frodo
Chosen by Fate
He carries the One Ring
Doom to bring or doom to prevent
He hopes
