Summary: Aragorn brings Bilbo a new form of poetry he encountered in his travels.

"To Rivendell, with gifts from far away,
I have returned." Thus spoke the Dúnadan.
"For you, my friend, no book of black or tan;
A greater gift I brought for you today."

"Across the fields of green and hills of grey,
I carried knowledge for you," said the Man.
"A brand new way to order words to scan,
A sonnet-form with which you can make play."

The Hobbit, sitting happy by the fire,
Smiled as his friend explained his wordy gift,
A puzzle sure to bring them hours of bliss.
Together, they wrote sonnets of the Shire,
And many topics covered slow or swift
Together, seated safe in Imladris.

This is delightful and very meta! I like the image of them writing poetry together.

Thank you! I had planned to write a sonnet on the topic of one of my other N42 squares, but then I just liked the meta idea so much more! And Aragorn helping Bilbo with poetry is one of my favorite things. :-)
