Not all of them are in the right form for haiku, the 5-7-5 form, but they do have 17 syllables each. Sorry - I couldn't do it all perfect! Hope you like them. :) Three cheers for Gimli!

In Rivendell
Elrond’s words he hears
the ring must be destroyed
elf mustn’t think he can
a mighty Dwarven-blow
but golden ring endures
nothing can break it
small one takes the burden
he offers his axe
even if elf comes with
In Moria
Doors of ithildin, dwarf-work
glad hope fills his heart
love for the mountain
He enters with pride
tells tales of splendor
but only the dead are there
Grief fills his heart
a silent, cold slab
memory of a dear, dead friend
Let them come, he shouts
cursed ones, revenge shall I take
this dwarf still draws breath
In Lothlórien
Beware of the elf-witch
she will ensnare
the unwary traveler
Let not your heart be grieved
by the dark of Khazad-dûm
her sweet voice speaks
Dwarf-heart, strangely changed
quiets with wonder and love
she is beautiful
No gift do I ask
you are more fair than jewels
only a last glance
Just this do I ask
a golden hair
to enthrone in sacred crystal
In Fangorn
the air is so close
I do not like this
yet I must lower my axe
the wizard returns from death
I cannot believe it
joy fills my heart
In Helm’s Deep
Rain patters on helm
brave heart waits impatiently
let them come and die!
Khazâd ai mênu!
come, friend, there are many!
Work for the warrior
He is small but great
No elf shall outdo his axe
count is growing fast

What is this burden?
The Elf's weight is naught
But this Dwarf is killing me!
