Tolkien Haiku

Chapter 1: Tolkien Haiku

Chapter Text

THE SILMARILLION

Silmarils and ships
Give them freely when asked or
Lose them anyway

Beren Ring-bearer
Brings Doom to Nargothrond and
Finrod to his wolf

Shining Nauglamir
In the heart of Menegroth
Dark with Thingol's blood

Beleriand drowned,
And three kinslayings, all for
Some shiny pebbles?

 

THE HOBBIT

Under the mountain
Fear and riddles in the dark
What’s in my pockets?

Under the mountain
Brighter than gold, the dragon’s
Imperfect armour

Under the mountain
The burglar claims his share and
Steals the Arkenstone

 

THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Three rings for the Elves
Seven for the Dwarves and Nine
For Men with no brains

Bag End holds the One
Stymied. Hobbits only want
Hot baths and mushrooms

Unthinkable but
Doable with some effort:
Destroying the Ring

 

TO SUM UP

It would be nice if
Everyone were less obsessed
With their jewellery

Chapter 2: Tolkien Tanka

Chapter Text

Composing guest lists

For parties in Valinor:

How long is proper

Before we can invite Eol

And Aredhel together?

Chapter 3: More Tolkien haiku - Of Turin

Chapter Text

Turin

Turin Turambar
Had more names than he could count
None of them saved him

But calling himself
Bloodstained, Unlucky and Doomed
Didn't help either.

Chapter 4: More Tolkien haiku - Of Luthien

Summary:

Luthien - Advice Not Taken

Chapter Text

Your grown-up girl wants
To marry a Man.Just smile
And wish them happy.

A girl comes looking
For her lost fiance. Please don't
Try to marry her.

A girl and her dog
Challenge you for your tower.
Pretend that you're out.

A girl (with her wolf)
Wants to sing and dance for you.
Say no ( politely).
