this really is beautiful. it has such a wonderful message to it. and i believe you're right with the meaning of the poem. very nice work.

You said this was a Silmarillion poem - it could well be Hurin before he kills himself. Very good work, by the way.

Well, what can one say? The world needs more poetry about the Silmarillion, specially written like that! This is absolutely beautiful, and, er ... is anyone in particular speaking?

Woah. That was incredible, and man does it fit with the Silmarillion! (BTW: Is is supposed to be from anyone's POV in particular, or just generalized?) Excellent, excellent work!

This is really really really really excellent! I love rhyming poetry and this was well done and insightful. Please write more poetry in the future!
