Poetry of Imladris
Indeed, written by the younger prince of said realm. Firstly, Forevermore, my published poem:
Forevermore by CENSORED So fair and perfect is the blessed land of Forevermore, That holy land, that fair place of pure and holy bliss. There, tears will drop and blood be shed never, nevermore, Nor the old ways of yesteryear will ever again be missed. In this unblemished, undying land of true and perfect peace, War and famine, plague and death will everlastingly end. Pray that when life so sweet and good at last flies from thee, Undying soul to undying lands will eternally ascend. So fair and so pure is the blessed land of Forevermore, Where crystal tears will drop and crimson blood be shed never, nevermore. Second, a slightly darker piece, stemming from my secondary world. I'm not sure if it's an incantation, an invokation, or dark liturgy. It's untitled, and goes by "A Few Nameless Lines". Ancient power old as stone, Rotted flesh and broken bone, Olden Master of the damned, Molten eye and twisted hand, Thy smashed body, lack of breath, Bring thy power, bring thy Death. I've experimented with two different kinds of recitation. One is basically just a regular old "chant", not meaning like Gregorian Chants, or song without music, but just chanting. The other is actual music which seems to me to go quite well with the rhyme etc., though not with the actual content of the poem.

*sniffs* It's beautiful. I was looking for some nice new poem to put in my sig- I've found it. (If that's ok by you Gwai - but who oh who is the author of this? I must find this CENSORED)

Wouldn't you like to know?
It's me! And of course it's fine with me.

The first one, what kind of meter is that?
The second one has been overdone, i'm sorry to say... Good nonetheless.

No meter on the first.
What do you mean by "overdone"?

Ah, i thought so.
Overdone as in, so many people have written about death and blood and stuff, it just gets boring to read more poetry about it.

Nice poem, but there is already a thread started for poetry. Perhaps you could copy and paste it into that thread. Thanks.
