Your Favorite Poem!
Challenge Details
How about a challenge based on poetry once again?
I think everyone has a favourite poem.
So how would that poem figure in Middle-earth?
Could one of the canon characters have written it? On which occasion?
Or does your favourite poem simply inspire you to write a story set in Middle-earth?
Could you change your favourite poem so that it is no longer a poem of this world but instead a poem of Middle-earth?
Everything is possible, as long as it involves two aspects: your favourite poem and Middle-earth!
