B2MEM Challenge: I29: ghazal (Poetic Forms), What is the most tedious, routine work that you have to do? Write down a few tedious or routine tasks that you're sometimes required to perform.

B2MEM 2015: Khamûl’s Sulfurous Exfoliants (for my prompt. This ficlet is slightly inspired by, but not officially related to, the crackfic inspired by same last year.)

Creator’s Notes (optional): This came to me when I was rereading the Poetic Forms card, and saw “ghazal” which to me sounded like a Ringwraith name or something. I asked my friend Anda what a Ringwraith might write poetry about, and she said “Find out.” Challenge accepted….and now I feel weird.

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.
