This time I tried my hand at a Shakespearean sonnet.
Boromir's journey
"...and long have I wandered by roads forgotten, seeking the house of Elrond, of which many had heard, but few knew where it lay."
-- Boromir, The Council of Elrond
Of northlands lost does tell thy ancient tale So tell me wand'rer fair, what seekst here? The strangest place, an elf-lord's hidden dale I cannot find it, know you is it near? The black haired man watched him with keen grey eye 'Tis north and east of here, this much I know Must wander many leagues like crows do fly And so much more for wolves that run below Canst take the road or go along the stream But do not count on help in wilderlands Please ask me not what way do best I deem For I but know the sword in battered hands. And Boromir the strong and valiant Went on alone to meet his journey's end
