Poetic Forms card, N31, Acrostic: To Grow and be Glad

[azalaisdep.livejournal.com]

Challenge: Poetic Forms, N31, Acrostic
Author: Azalais
Title: To Grow and be Glad
Format: Drabble poem (acrostic)
Genre: poetry
Characters: Legolas
Summary: "And I," said Legolas, "shall walk in the woods of this fair land, which is rest enough. In days to come, if my Elven-lord allows, some of our folk shall remove hither; and when we come it shall be blessed, for a while."

To Grow and be Glad

Leaves tremble in hesitant welcome, releasing sweet pungent scents as he brushes through them;

Elves have not been seen in Gondor’s desolate garden for an Age.

Gently he moves among tamarisks and bay-trees, murmuring reassurance, stroking bark and branch.

Orcs have despoiled here for savagery’s sake, hacked and broken, poisoned earth and water;

Long this fair land has lain uncared-for, frontier and battle-ground of Men.

A little time, he vows, till by his lord’s leave his folk follow him from his northern forests;

Soon by Yavanna’s blessing, with Wood-elves’ love and labour, shall Ithilien be fair and whole once more.

Storm Debris by Dreamflower

[dreamflower]

B2MeM Challenge: Canon Couples, B-7, " Imrazôr /Mithrellas"; Crossover2, "Romance", B-7
Format: Dribble
Title: Storm Debris
Genre: Romance
Rating: G
Warnings: N /A
Characters: Imrazôr , Mithrellas
Pairings: Imrazor/Mithrellas
Author's Notes: I borrowed the term "Ossë's wrath" from surgicalsteel. In Unfinished Tales we are told that it was in just such a storm that Amroth's ship was swept from shore. Nimrodel's party was lost in the mountains at the time. I am imagining here that Mithrellas is found unconscious afterwards, alone and separated from the rest of the party, as Imrazôr and his people are surveying the storm damage.
Summary: Imrazôr comes upon Mithrellas.

Those orange-backed books were a main source of my early childhood reading, and I still own them, worn as they are. This particular tale was definitely a favorite of mine and always makes me giggle hysterically.
Summary: Rose Gamgee tells the children the tale of Noddy Button, who gets more than he bargained for.
