Poetry from the Realm of Lórien

Leaves Are Falling
by Mettare

Leaves, leaves are falling
You have made your choice
And now you must live with it
You must live, alone
In darkness and grief
For that is the choice you made
Years ago – they passed so quickly
Now you’re alone in this world
Wanderer in the forest
Where leaves are falling
There is always hope
Even for you
Leaves, leaves are falling
You have made your choice
And now you must die with it
What happens then?
You don’t know
But it is a gift
And you may see him again
Outside the borders of the world
Don’t you want to leave?
You have but grief in your life
Leaves, leaves are falling
And you are falling with them
Here lies your mortal body
But your spirit is gone
Your spirit is free
To fly out of the borders of the world
And meet what is there
Leaves, leaves are falling
You have made your choice
And now you must live with it
And now you must die with it
That was your choice
And it was the right one
Have no regrets
Enjoy your gift
You are free now
You are free
You are free

Passing of Théoden
by ElvenEars

The Darkness has came,
It has sneaked back into the world,
The light has faded,
What hope we had is lost,
We battle hard,
Still some of us perish,

Farewell my kin,
May you still hold strong,
Farewell…

“Lord of the Rings” (a sonnet)
by ShotoKid

The story by Tolkien Lord of the Rings
A great movie directed by Jackson
Halflings, Dwarfs, Elves, and of Men Kings
It is incredible what they have done.
They have captured the hearts of many fans
For the violence or for an actor
Others are diehard fans in caravans
Those may always want of Middle-earth more
Balrogs, Wargs and Fell Beasts-of these beware
We hope others will see why we love it
To try to walk into Mordor we dare
For explanations, outsiders please sit
Many are our differences here
Without LotR, some may feel mere

Lord of the Rings Fans
by ShotoKid

I’m one of many Lord of the Rings fans.
The best of the best come from CoE
Lovers of Frodo, and Sam with his pans.
With us, I know you’ll be happy, I know it will be

Many things to participate in with others
Friends we here have to enjoy spare time with
We’re sure to have something that crawls or slithers
The fun we have here is not a made up myth

People from all over the world come her-
Ones who are Dutch, Canadian, others too.
Difference is something that we hold dear.
Cherishing old friends but always making new

Looking at avatars and changing sigs
In the forums, you’ll find many interesting threads
Around the site, you can get into some gigs
Some let their addictions go to their heads

CoE Forums
by ShotoKid

The forums on CoE are lots of fun
You would be sure to find at least some pun
Many people with whom to make friends
The laughter from the Games forum hardly ends

Learn about others’ lives at the Pony
Prancing Pony, that is; it isn’t phony
Casting forum is good for your fave actor
Hearing others, you may about them to learn more

The Palantír is good for other media
Learning new things, you may shout, “Mamma mia!”
Announcements and feedback is great for site news
When picking the next one you’ll see, be good to choose

The Last Homely House
by ShotoKid

The Last Homely House is a welcoming place
I ask of you this: please, come and show your face
Look at the different categories
You will never be rushed, so look at ease
Many good recipes you here can find
The reading of the articles is kind
Sections about roleplaying and horses
In there, you’ll come into contact with forces
I hope you like it as much as I do
Also the rest of the site, too
To visit the Last Homely House is fun
Now that I have said all this, I am done

Council of Elrond
by ShotoKid

The best site to go for LotR
Is the infamous Council of Elrond
Good people my fellow site members are
Between certain people occurs a bond.
Areas in which to participate-
The gallery, chat rooms, and the forums
For any fan, it is really good bait
Join in the fun now so you won’t be dumb
Check out all the places, they are all cool
Last Homely House is great for recipes
In some of the places, you can easily drool
Don’t miss the fun, I’m begging on my knees
As I said, the best site is this
For saying all this, at me do not hiss.

Fun in Lórien
by ShotoKid

Much is our fun here in Lórien
Guys please come because we need more men
We don’t care if you’re friend or kin
Neither do we care if you’re a has-been
Because these don’t matter between friends
Come where the fun and laughter never ends
We will meet you where the road there bends
Realm newsletters TheLadyArwen sends
To others: try it out for awhile
Give us a chance, my fellow people
You aren’t asked of much, just a vial
Why? To keep the fun for the extra mile.

The Great Realm of Lórien
by ShotoKid

Here in our great realm of Lórien
We have things in which to participate
Let me say this, your eyes do not harden
This is not something you can debate
As Lórien members, we do enjoy
The many activities to help with-
Dream Diaries, meditation, oh boy!
The fun we have here is no made-up myth.
Don’t diss us just because we like nature.
We like plenty of other things too.
Each of us is a dear s’mores lover.
Enjoying walking is another to-do
That summarizes some of our good
Hope you can sometime stop in our ‘hood.
