**World Hobbit Day** Drabble / Haiku Challenge Can't Post
On this World Hobbit Day, let's have some fun with a drabble or a haiku about The Hobbit (movie or book) or J.R.R. Tolkien or Bilbo & Frodo's birthday.

Drabble me this: A drabble is a short fanfic of exactly 100 words in length. In our challenge, we will not include the title in that 100. You can make them in one or more paragraphs or as a poem.

OR

How do you do a haiku? A haiku is verse with a specific structure of 3 lines made up of 5 syllables, then 7 syllables and 5 syllables again. You can have as many verses as you like.

I've made some examples of a drabble and a haiku to start things off. Don't be shy! These are really fun once you get rolling :)


A Hobbit's Drabble
Bilbo lived in the Shire in a hole warm and clean
Till a Wizard and Dwarves pulled him into their scheme

Confronted by Dragon, Troll, Elf, Warg and Spider
His thoughts turned to home and his food in the larder

He didn't want praise, bright jools, silver or gold
He was held by the job, though not burglar or bold

Fighting hunger and fear; finding Sting and a Ring
The hobbit's grit grew, saving all through his cunning

He stayed true to his word; with his friends facing battle
Till he finally went home while his treasure bags rattle


A Party Haiku
Set out for the field
The day is finally here
One gross fills the chairs

Fireworks by Gandalf
Mathoms spread by Mad Baggins
All praise the great Host

The feast is consumed
And the speech is good and short
What could he do next?

Your Turn! :D





I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
