The Reluctant Hero
|
Can't Post
|
|
He led a life of leisure
of comfort and content-
His days dawned each and sundry
with no untoward event;
When what to his wonder happened
without even his consent?
A visit from thirteen travelers
and one old and wizened gent.
Then made the thirteen music,
of gloom and yet so fair: .
They sang of gold and silver
and of precious jewels rare.
With passions high a pact he made
and fealty did swear,
To join this fearsome business
for but a fourteenth share.
Of the venture they did weave
and the trail that they did wend;
Of the Goblins and Great Wargs
and the Dragons fiery den,
Fair songs are sung by fireside
as voice and harp do blend
Into the time he took that step
from the doorway of Bag End.

That was beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration, it really made me think of what happened after...
The reluctant Hero's heir. (or hair?)
Loyal, honest, brave and true
It's just as well he never knew
That the road upon which he then tarried
Would soon be twisted by that which he carried
That treachery, doubt, greed and fear
Would make him question that he held dear
The twists and turns were so designed
To make him think he'd lost his mind
A band of brothers fell apart
The ring succeeded in sowing doubt
Yet a light remained, the truth broke free
Promising an end to the misery
For all the eye sought to deceive
It failed to discern a growing need
love and light shone through the blight
To show the way to end the night
Sacrifices were made,arrows found their mark
And at times it was hard to see in the dark
webs were spun, sought to delay
And yet our hero found his way
To renew that hope once feared lost
helped from a most unexpected source
And so this tale it can be told
Because of he : Frodo the bold.

That was beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration
We must never forget the REAL hero of the saga - The heir or we might say "The Reluctant Heir".
Well Done!

For some reason I pictured you writing it with a quill a la Bilbo at his desk.
More, please!

I have a couple more but am deciding whether I have the cheek to put them on Main. Or stick to O.T. ??
Main doesn't say anything about poetry so . ..?

Seems Main gets more traffic than either "Fan Art" or the 'Hall" and according to Altaira Main is ok. Altough yes, is does seem a little cheeky to go Main with these... 
And wouldn't we all like the most folks possible to see our work?
Not that there's any genius involved here
p.s. Poetry, prose, fanfic and drabbles have a home here too, or post them on Main if you wish.

Looking over the "Hall of Poets", I think that is the logical way to go.
Thanks BlackFox (and Grey Elf).
Nice poems BlackFox.

Looking forward to reading more of yours!

I just danced around the Hall of Poets.
Saw a couple of BlackFox's.
Will dance a little harder and check yours out too.
But I know you two could teach ME a thing or two too.

The GHoP holds many examples of the talented poets who pen verse on TORn. I'm sure yours will fit right in.
