LOTR haiku Can't Post

For the past couple of months (52 days as of today, to be exact) I've been writing one new haiku a day and posting them through a constellation of social networking feeds (Facebook page, Twitter, Buzz, etc.) with the name Haiku Diem. In the course of the writing, I came up with a few Lord of the Rings haiku that I decided were too specialized to publish to the general public, and so I'm sharing them here.

too much! the water
that was a monster, seething
with the dreadful past

they flee from the gate
stumbling blindly, the darkness
still clinging to them

fair Lorien where
the long centuries pass like
light through the high leaves

That's great rivendeller! Thanks for posting it here - and welcome to TORN!

Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

It has been forever since I have written a haiku. You are good at that!
