I am singularly untalented with poetry, Shireling and I tend to avoid it when I troll for fanfic, but this is a worthy effort. Very worthy. It actually made me choke up a bit. This is an early effort in poetry, claim you?
Do more.
You picked a good moment to record and the vision of the 'false night time' was loving. I can see him standing there, waiting, the wind blowing his hair about. You provoke the image well.

Lindorien,
Thank you.
Yes the poetry muse only struck a few weeks ago, but then my fiction writing is a very recent phenomena too!!
Faramir holds a special place in my heart.

I enjoyed this a lot. It has some lovely descriptive phrases. "Velvet cloak of memory to enfold " is particularly beautiful.
I hope you don't mind if I point out some typos? First verse - eye's should be eyes. Second verse - who's should be whose. Third verse - distain should be disdain, I think.
Cheers,
Avon

Avon,
Thank you, it is always nice to know which phrases are particularly sucessfull.
Thanks for pointing out the typos- spelling and punctuation have never been a strong point!!

A fitting tribute to Faramir ~ Strange how it doesn't rhyme, but still flows.

Thank you. I have a soft spot for Faramir (Book, not film!)
Poetry is a very new area for me- I know nothing of it's forms or styles. They just happen when the inspiration strikes.
