Matthew Anish Poet Narrative

The Power of Morgroth

The most powerful 
of evil beings
    has come to Middle Earth 
  With the power of 
the three Silmarils 
     at his command
He built himself a 
    mighty fortress
       Born from discordance 
he is the incarnation of 
   darkness
As the Eldar and
 the fledgling race 
    of men 
        Try to keep peace 
in their lands 
      He comes into their midst 
wielding great power
   The Valar know of this 
  Yet it is up to 
the dwellers in Middle Earth 
  to deal with 
this malevolent being 
    They must summon
all their strength 
The balance of all creation 
is threatened 
   One of Morgroth's 
servants 
   will later become 
a threat 
   But for now the dark King 
      must be handed 
  a defeat 
   Or the free peoples 
will face the consequences

Caroline Cécile Delacroix July 5, 2011 at 10:38 PM I see that you love Tolkien stories like the Lord of the Rings. My own young Matthew's favorite movie. Has the toys and love building the armies, and they fight to the death. :) You'd be good at writing reviews for movies or books. Your writing made me want to see the movie. Peace and love, Caroline.

Joe Maverick July 4, 2011 at 11:42 PM I love this piece, Matthew,, Tolkien was truly a gifted writer. Looking forward to your next write..

Andrea Dietrich July 4, 2011 at 12:15 AM as I recall, you are a huge Tolkein fan. That name Morgroth seems familiar to me too. I loved the trilogy and I bet you have written a number of poems on the excellent themes of those grand books!
