I wanted to let the readers of these poems to know I have finished all the chapters to The Fellowship but I have decided not to upload all of them at once.

Be on the watch for more chapters over the next several days!

An unwanted title
He has no choice if he wants
To save Middle-Earth

Ringbearer is not
A title he’d willingly
Choose nor desire

Yet did all seem lost if
He did not say to them all
“I will carry it.”

So thus began the
Quest of one small Shire hobbit
To destory Arda’s Doom

“This peace will not last.”
So says his heart while gazing
At the calm valley

“Soon I must depart
And face peril unknown but
do so willingly.”

If only my home
Can be spared from Sauron’s dark
Wanton destruction

Child of Hamfast and
Bell Gamgee, their youngest son
Blessed six children

Sam follows his dad
Tending to Bilbo’s taters
His flower garden

Master gardener
For Frodo Baggins master
Of Bag End’s halls

Faithful companion
Through Mordor’s trials and fires
Hope ever ablaze

Shire he restored
From Saruman’s cruelty, its
Green beauty returned

Loving husband and
Father of thirteen children
Mayor seven terms

Departed West after
The loss of his Rose, reunited
With Frodo at last

The next haiku will be published on Tuesday!

Saradoc’s son was
He, Esmeralda a Took
Beloved by both

Destined to be the
Master of Buckland’s halls, hills
Estella’s husband

Faithful to follow
Cousin Frodo on his Quest
To save Middle-earth

Fought by Èowyn’s
Side, and gave his aid to help
Her slay the Witch-King

Thèoden’s “son”
Made a Knight of the Mark by
Èomer King, friend

Many later called
Him “The Magnificent” the
Brandybuck Master

Laid to rest by
Pippin’s side in Rath Dínen
Among Gondor’s Kings

Youngest of four lone
Son of Thain Paladin and
Sweet Eglantine Took

Three sisters had he
Pearl, Pimpernel, Pervinca
No brothers had he

Conspired with his
Cousin Merry and Samwise
To unmask the truth

Would not be deterred
By Elrond’s words, determined
To follow Frodo

In Moria he
Was a Fool of a Took words
Spoken by Gandalf

Taken to Minas
Tirith, he served Denethor
Saved Faramir’s life

A knight became he
After slaying a troll who
Fell and nearly crushed him flat

From far Western shores
Came Olórin to give
Aid to Elves and Men

Grey Pilgrim the name
Given to him by the Elves
For his wandering

For ages he did far
Wander Middle-earth’s lands and
Helping her peoples

Narya was entrusted
To his Keep to help fight the
Dark Lord’s evil plan

Wizard fallen in
Moria’s unending dark
Balrog he did slay

As the White did he
Return to help good triumph
Through malevolence

His work at last
Finished, he sought out his home
With the Western Lords

Son of the ancient
Realm of Númenór raised by
Elrond Peredhil

Future King is he
The hope of men some have said
Estel o i annûn [1]

Ranger of the Wild
Protecting the innocent
From the dark shadows

Protector of the
Hobbits, Fellowship’s leader
Hands healing the sick

Soulmate of Arwen
Evenstar of her people
Elfstone to his own

Long did last his reign
Over the united realms
Of Arnor, Gondor

‘Til at last he slept
With his longfathers of old
His son king instead

Firstborn son pride of
His father Denethor
Steward of Gondor

Older, protective
Brother of Faramir, his
truest of friends

Destined to lead as
Future Steward of Gondor
Her bright shining star

Sent by Denethor
To Imladris to seek out
For “Isildur’s Bane”

Swearing to protect
Frodo, he walked far on the
Ringbearer’s journey

Madness brought on by
The Ring caused the breaking of
His oath to protect

He died defending
The hobbits from the minions
Of Saruman’s

“I would have followed you, my brother, my captain...my king.”

Proud son of Glóin was
Gimli, child of Vala Aulë
Master stone craftsman

Member of the Nine
Wielded his axe to slay orcs
Threatening his friends

Lockbearer was he
Favored by Galadriel
Lothlórien’s Queen

Elf-friend he became
Overcoming centuries
Of hatred and strife

Rough exterior
Has Gimli Glóin’s son inwards
Beats a golden heart

Traveled Fangorn with
Legolas, became the Lord
of Glittering Caves

Went with Legolas
For friendship, and with hope of
Seeing the Lady

Seducing him does
The voice of the raging sea
Saying, “Come to me! Come!”

It is too late to
Mourn not heeding the Lady’s
Sage warning for him

But this Thranduil’s son
Warned against mortal ties will
Not forsake his friends

Instead because he
Is Immortal he watches
Mortal friends decay

Until a day in
The Fourth Age comes, he prepares
A lonely grey ship

Legolas cannot
Bear to be parted from the
Dwarf Gimli eternally

So with the blessings
Of the Valar and Lady,
They Sail into the West

“Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf. And when that ship passed an end was come in Middle-earh of the Fellowship of the Ring.”
