Norwegian Rings

by KathleentheCritic

I once had The Ring,
Or should I say,
It once had me.

She showed me our doom,
In Galadriel’s glass,
What might come to pass.

"The Fellowship’s breaking, in fact it’s already begun."
"He’ll try for the Ring, so alone you must bear it, The One."

I sat on the Seat,
Amon Hen reeled,
Would the Fellowship yield?

I felt so alone—
(And Boromir dead)
With Samwise I fled.

Then Gollum (nee Smeagol) on Preciousss to guide us did swear,
Then left us for dead in the darkness of cruel Shelob’s lair.

Orodruin loomed,
Gollum’s last lunge,
Into Mount Doom he’d plunge.

And when we awoke,
We weren’t alone.
Gwaihir had flown.

[Editorial stanza]:

Oscar he deserves,
Isn’t he good,
Elijah Wood.
