The Last Homely Hourse

Elrond lives there
     His memory 
      goes bak for eons
His daughter"Arwen Evenstar" 
resides in Rivendell
She is as beautiful as the evening stars
Soon the elvish folk 
must leave Middle - Earth 
for the gray havens
      But first they must 
must face the depredations of Sauron
A 
company 
was 
formed 
there 
      Nine walkers representing 
Elves, dwarves, men and halflings
were sent out 
      in juxtaposistion to 
the Nine Riders - Sauron's malevolent wraiths
     Driven to madness by 
the Rings of Power
    Sauron desires it 
with a fierce love
    The homes of the 
Elves, Men, Dwarves and
Hobbits
       are in peril 
Resting and refreshing themselves
at the Last Homely House in Rivendell
   The company girds 
itself for a long, wearisome
journey 
through fire - and great danger

Your write would make J.R.R. Tolkein proud, Matthew! I enjoyed this return to Middle Earth. Love this magical, fantasy write! And thanks for your comments on Princess Di. I was just one of many who loved her and felt she was superior to the Royal Family. Love, Carolyn
