[hhimring]

B2MeM Prompt and Path: Favorite genre/art style (Yellow path)

Format: Rec list

Genre: Recs for poems, link collection

Rating: G (also most of the linked poems, but not all: see below)

Warnings: none (most of the linked poems have no warnings, but see below)

Pairings: see individual items

Creator’s Notes: Links go to earlier posts in this community on LJ and are ordered alphabetically by author. This post was originally intended for World Poetry Day (which apparently is 21 March), but failed to happen that day. (However, at least in some countries, Poetry Month will be coming soon in April.)

Summary: Some poems written for earlier B2MeM events. I've chosen short serious ones, in metre. Some are LOTR-based, some Silm-based. I don't have anything detailed to say about my individual choices, but they are poems that had stayed with me.

Thank you very much for the rec! I enjoyed reading or rereading these other poems as well.

You're very welcome!
It was not easy to make up my mind which one of yours to pick.

I think the only one I'd read before (that I remembered) was Dreamflower's. Thank you for introducing me to the others! They're all beautiful.

[hhimring]

Glad you liked them!

*blushes* Thanks for the rec, dear! I had so much fun writing those Canon Couple dribbles for the Bingo year. I need to check out those others, too!

You're very welcome!
I do like whole Canon Couple series, although I wanted to pick out one for this list.
