Casks filled with gold coins
Could not soften the sadness
House bereft of home
 Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Hidden silver spoons... ting
Bilbo's hands steal back his own
Quest lesson well learned.

Bilbo Baggin’s dead?
“Hello, I’m not yet dead!” he said.
“Stop this sale!”, he pled.
Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories.

Journey at its end
Hopes of peace and coziness
Sadly were not met
I take it that the pronunciation is what counts, with the syllables? For example, the word "so-me-thing" has three syllables but sounds like two, while "ho-pe" has two but sounds like one...? (The middle row has nine syllables but sounds like seven, I think...)

But I think I'm off with "hello" (2 sounds/syllables?)

He travelled so far
Saw friends die and dreams broken
Found home broken too
Returning he knew
His own place in the wide world
The meaning of home

By foal, foot and boat
A hero, leader, and bold
For a fourteenth share.
Home to further grief
Set to rights soon thereafter
Blesséd happiness.

Nice to see you around, Compa! (Or maybe I've just missed some posts, being in and out of here myself lately.  )
