Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Like the Flame Imperishable

The night 
wraps itself 
         around us 
    new stars light up
the sky
       the one is 
  destroyed 
       there is a sense 
of joy
      as the Dark Lord 
fades
       the halflings 
              strength 
changed the face 
          of Middle Earth
After the struggle 
            a new dawn 
       reveals itself to us 
    Soon the misty sea 
will draw us 
      Let there be peace

Andrea Dietrich September 12, 2010 at 11:35 PM Hey you are the Tolkien guy, right? This really put me in mind of when I was reading Lord of the Rings many years ago. A very enjoyable read! LUv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire September 12, 2010 at 6:13 PM Very nice tribute to J R R Tolkein's trilogy on the rings, Matthew. I found the novels to be entertaining and filled with metaphors. Love the way you portry "Middle Earth" activities here. As for the last line, we just have to keep praying for peace. Love, Carolyn

Hyle Chu September 12, 2010 at 5:14 PM Lord of the Rings, huh? "The night / wraps itself / around us" I like that. "new stars light up" that expresses a new era. A time of peace. I like this poem. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of my favorites. You captured the ending perfectly. Thanks for you comments on my poem, Matthew. To answer the one about the dilly road, "dilly" means remarkable or extraordinary.
