Format: Poem (as per the Poetic Forms card, an attempt at Sapphic Meter)
Genre: Character Study
Rating: General
Warnings: N/A
Characters: Haleth, Caranthir
Pairings: N/A
Summary: Why Haleth denied Caranthir's offer.


Baking bread, she was not prepared when the
Orcs came slaying, shearing through fence and flesh both;
Haleth found her loaves were pitiful swords.
Steel in hand served.

Loudly blowing, trumpets amazed Orcs and
Haladin, elf-bright the fair ones, driving dark
Riverward, victory denied. Hands opened:
Bread in them, palms wide.

Breaking bread, she is not prepared when the
Elves afford her honor, salt-like denies
Lands and shelter, knowing that bonds must stand on
More than just bread-crumbs.

Oh, wow, that actually works!
Sorry for the sound of surprise, but I was staring at some of the same prompts yesterday and couldn't make anything of them...

Thank you. :)
And don't worry about sounding surprised. I know I am frequently awed when people come up with those ingenious prompt combinations for their fics, and then make them work so well, too.
