Format: poetry (not really)
Genre: crack
Rating: PG (mostly harmless)
Warnings: None, except for foolishness. Well, technically character death.
Characters: miscellaneous or n/a
Pairings: Egalmoth/Celegorm (sort of), Beor/? (sort of), Celebrian/Elrond (sort of)
Creator’s Notes: Using Sasha Honeypalm's compilation of the text-only prompts for G54, an attempt to construct a found poem from all the G54 prompts. I gave up on the mysterious numbers designating the colour, but shoehorned the rest in.
Summary: Helter-skelter across Arda and through the Ages, vaguely chronological, with a small virtual reward at the end.
