Alternative Tolkien - e.e. cummings

[serai]

.

e.e. cummings:



precious) downward
my) the heat rises
O) the mountain rises

like a mouth the earth
swallows
greedily

a finger without its hand
a body without its soul
an evil without its power

bright sun on us both)
remembering(
bobbing forth and back)
my birthday(
he was greedy like the earth)
one life begins(
one life ends)
river like a mouth, cold, hot
ring like a mouth, devouring
consumed i must consume

(Sméagol?)

the ring (O
and the body (my
are consumed (precious

This one was perfect! :-))

Isn't it? The best ones are written in the author's style, rather than just taking a piece of his prose and plugging Tolkien names into it. This one is particularly fine.

wow...

I'm glad you're enjoying them, hon! But I did not write these. They were taken from message boards and forums back in 2003.

Very evocative of the various styles...kudos then to the creators. Thanks for posting them, babe - I'm going to memory them.
