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.
