| Wonderful expression of Frodo's feelings here. It did take him here, after all--almost fully. | |

| The scene is well set. A grim foreboding has been shown. | |

| And yet...he didn't. Seventeen days he resisted. Grant that I may have Courage beyond duty, valor beyond fear; To die fighting, to spend my last fading strength Striking out at sure death Even as it closes in to cage me. This prayer of his was answered, beyond anyone's expectations. Yet here, in this time, he takes a wound that will never heal. These poems together are stunning and powerful, Primsong! Thank you for sharing them! | |

| The hands of the king are the hands of death. That is such a brilliant use of that phrase, turning the original context on its head and so bringing out the contrast: Aragorn was the opposite of Angmar in every way! And "our treasure" is shuddersome in this context... | |

| You have captured his terror here, and his defiance, even as he's beginning to feel that defying is useless... | |

| Oh, this evokes the horror of the place so very well! I especially like these lines: Fading sun In setting, pulling down The last shredded remnants of peace. Shivering innocence curls around its impotent fire, as we see the darkness falling there... | |
