Snowflake Challenge: Day 6

Challenge #6

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Since Monday is my usual day for Poem of the Week, I'm combining that with today's challenge prompt; please enjoy these wonderful Tolkien-inspired poems by my fabulous fellow fans!

Mee and Shee, by Nienna. Mee and Shee dance, each watching the other.

Spring in Doriath, by Himring. Doriath welcomes the spring. Inspired by 'Spring' by William Blake.

Maglor's Lament for Ambarussa, by Bunn. A brief poem. Loosely inspired by Cynddylan's Hall, a lament for a seventh-century prince of Powys, from the fourteenth-century Red Book of Hergest.

Fast Fellows, by Elwinfortuna. Wulfmær wakes Aelfnoth on the morning of the Battle of Maldon.

Dwarven Funeral Rites, by Raiyana. A poem used in funeral rites in Khazad-dûm (and elsewhere, later). Khuzdul, with English translation.

Eight-Pointed Star, by Lferion. A travel-song sung by the Feanorian mounted forces, particularly Maglor's riders.

Teler, by Dawn Felagund. After the Darkening of Valinor, a Telerin Elf looks back at the days of light.

Thank you! That is excellent company to be in.

I remember hearing you sing this on the Discord server - my jaw was on the floor, it was brilliant!

Not my fandom, but I'm impressed that so many people are writing poetry in this fandom. Thanks for sharing some of your faves for this challenge.

I think it might be because there's a lot of poetry in Tolkien (and, indeed, some of the smaller Tolkien fandoms like The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun are themselves based on poems). I actually had a hard time choosing which ones to rec!

These are lovely! May I share a link to your post with a friend?

[narya_flame]

Of course - it's a public post, share it where you wish :)

[elwinfortuna]

Thank you! These are all gorgeous poems!

[narya_flame]

They are - I thought it was a good mix of styles and themes, too.

Thank you very much! I am really honoured to be included in this rec list in such good company!

You're very welcome; it's a delightful poem.
