I've posted my first poem to SoA. I don't have any experience with poems, so I wrote it in freeverse and it therefore does not have a specific count scheme. It's a poem about the Shire reflecting on four of her special sons all eventually having to leave her to find their peace.

Near But Far AwayAwareness slowly came back to Pippin, awareness filled with a crushing weight upon his chest that was more than memory. He had been crushed by a Troll during the battle, and now ( Read more... )

"The Hobbit" was published 69 years ago today! Imagine, if this book had not been published, then we would never know about Bilbo, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam or their friends Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, etc. from outside the Shire!
