Poems of Arda

_ ____________________________ _

Of Feänor

Feänor, woe, Lord of the Noldor
Stripped from the shine of the Valar's Light
Casted his brethren unto their doom
For against Melkor they should forever fight

Sons of the Cursed, seven in all
Defended the Oath, sworn on Tirion's wall
Be he Elf or man, slave or king
Who touches a Silmaril, doom they shall bring

The sting of a sword, forged in Aman itself
And the burning of hate shall the traitor feel
Whoso possess a Silmaril, or find or steal

The days of Arda shall forever be marked
By Feänor's deeds and the Grinding Ice
Though in the end it must be known
That treason

Still has its price

Of Morgoth/Melkor

Morgoth the Black, scorn of the Valar
Child of Eru, who is Father of all
Descended upon Arda from Eternal Valinor
To corrupt, destroy, undo and marr

Wisest of all the Valar was he
And the most powerful one as well
Yet he betrayed Eru, wanting to be free
Yet this is known, so I must not tell

Of the pain and suffering caused by Him
From the fate of Turín to the death of the Trees
Morgoth alone brough the Eldar to their knees

Ending with the Battle of Unnumbered Tears
To the strength of the Elves Melkor would not bend
Yet against all odds, hope remains
For to all Evil like this

There will come an end

Of Elrond

Elrond of Imladris, which is often called Rivendell
Son of Elwing and Eärendil, noblest of kin
Founded a haven, safe for Man and Elf
In Rhudaur, greenest of lands, free of sin

On the falls of Bruinen, under the red sun's cover
It was a place for Elves to dwell and recover
In the Third of Ages, it was the house of Arwen
And later also of Aragorn, great king of Men

Vilya is the Ring that Elrond keeps
The cause of Rhudaur's splendour and light
Though it was only used for things fair and right

A great warrior too he was called
Hadhafang he wielded, sword of Elven steel
And though at Dagorlad, the Ring's fate was stalled
The fury of Elrond

Darklord Sauron surely did feel

That was good, who wrote it?

**Ian Altano** · December 20, 2008, 03:53 AM

Umm, I did.

This IS the forum to post your own works, right?

**bomberboy** · December 22, 2008, 03:54 PM

Yeah this is the forum you post your work in. And sorry for not knowing it was yours, I did have a feeling but I had to be sure. It was good like a saga.

**Ian Altano** · December 23, 2008, 11:01 AM

It was good like a saga.

What do you mean with that?

**bomberboy** · December 23, 2008, 01:08 PM

You know what a Saga is. Its what the vikings used to tell, stories but with warriors.

**Ian Altano** · December 24, 2008, 04:27 AM

Ah, I see! Well, thank you I guess!

**bomberboy** · December 24, 2008, 11:08 AM

Your welcome.

**Perkele** · December 24, 2008, 04:20 PM

Quite good, I liked it. However I'd remove the 'dramatic effect' from the end, it goes just as well written in one line. Maybe even better.

**Lord Feloric's Ambassador** · December 28, 2008, 01:07 AM

You should write something in the honor of Lord Feloric.

**Ian Altano** · December 30, 2008, 08:45 AM

Yeah, that's an idea. I might do that

Sorry for the double post. I updated the thread. Instead of making a new one for every new poem, I will update this thread.
Therefore I renamed it Poems of Arda.

Check out the first post for my update: Of Morgoth
