Cinquains & Haiku for Lothlorien


Golden,
Whisp’ring silver,
Ever old, ever young,
Home and heart for all beneath you:
Mallorns.

Refuge,
Hidden stronghold,
Unseen walls, weapons fair,
Your golden net is feared by all;
Lady.

Starlight,
Upon your hand,
Hidden from all but One,
This one is yet clean, protecting;
Nenya.

- Primula
Galadriel

She will dimish
Dawn's Queen follows the sunset
Golden leaves turn brown


Power
On her finger
In the gold of her hair
Supreme governor of her realm
Ageless
- Orangeblossom Took

Blindly they enter,
In loyalty unseeing,
Caras Galadhon
- Primula

Sheltered
'Neath mallorn boughs
Tiny bright elanor
dot the earth as fallen starshine
Lovely
- Elfriend
Lorien Cinquain

Lovely,
How glistening,
Sparkling lights in the trees,
Guiding us on ever homeward,
Lovely.


The White Lady - A Cinquain

Brilliant
Galadriel
Your inner light shines bright.
Over Lothlorien you rule,
Justly.
- Silivren Ithildin
Mirror;
Filled with silver,
What Elf-magic is this?
Peer into the basin to see
Starlight.


Watching
Over the wood,
Protecting the people,
Keeping them forever in bright
Springtime
- Primula

Nenya,
Wielded in fire
The Light of Earendil
Through your slender fingers shining
Silver
- Evermind

Swan boats
On the water,
Filled with sorrowed singing
As another loss you suffer,
Farewell.
- Primula


Dreaming
Golden mallorns
Guarded by the Lady
Yet fading save in memory
Lórien

Winter
Unfading grass
Where ever the flowers
Elanor and niphredil bloom
Timeless

and a found cinquain

Behold
Cerin Amroth
A sward of grass as green
As Spring-time in the Elder Days
Long ago
- Ashlyn
