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.
