Agnes Krampe Poet Monorhyme

The Road To Mordor

The daylight fades now; soon the moon will glide
Across the canvas of the sky that, wide
And black, spans far above. Below, we bide
Our time and wait. I glance from side to side
At my companions on this dreadful ride.

These are the haunted woods where many died.
The path is treacherous, and with each stride
Becomes more so. I think foul creatures cried
While circling overhead. We have to hide.

I fear we cannot really trust our guide.
Perhaps it would be better to divide:
Have some go on, and others turn aside
To draw off the pursuit. We must decide
And each walk to our doom with fear and pride.
