Creatively express your admiration for first LOTR film, in a poem

PMills · 08-05-2003, 08:01 PM

If anyone is up for the challenge, creatively express in a 40 - 50 word maximum (or if you have anything on file, include it) your admiration for Peter Jackson's first LOTR film (Fellowship of the Ring) and why you love it, or what you most love about it, in a rhyming poem. Or as an acrostic of Lord of the Rings, but made to also rhyme.

Sheeana · 08-05-2003, 11:13 PM

Peter Jackson is a git.
And his movie ain't a hit.
I wish he was dead,
With a arrow through the head.

Lizra · 08-06-2003, 12:13 AM

I could maybe try it for the book...but the movie?

Oh well...here goes!

The Baggins party was a groovy scene,
The cake, magnificent,
The "homebrew" mean.
Lobelia's presence made Bilbo's ears twitch,
But he pulled it all off without a hitch.

Things happened right fast, after that.
Gandalf returned and told Frodo to scat!
No time for planning, they just had to flee,
The next thing you know, they're holed up in Bree!

Strider appears and persuades them to go,
Where he carried those daggers, I'll never know!
Frodo falls flat and misses his cue,
But Arwen is pumped and ready to do...

Glorfindels bit, in a twist of the tale,
Many a book lover now starts to wail!
The Council of Elrond is horribly brief,
But Boromir's charms lighten my grief.

The music is grand as the Fellowship starts.
The journey through Moria quickens my heart.
The Balrog is awesome, the falling bridge cool,
But Galadriel turns green and looks like a ghoul!

Oh! Oh! Here comes Lurtz, Saruman's joy!
His thighs look like leather, his snarl rather coy.
But Boromir's death is so hard to take,
Sean Bean seems so real, the book guy seems fake.

WEll...does anyone like my poem? Is it ready for the Entmoot Anthology?

Elvet · 08-06-2003, 07:06 PM

Bravo! Well done

I especially love the part about Strider's daggers, Boromir's charms and the last line.

Lizra · 08-06-2003, 08:12 PM

Yes!

Thank you Elvet!

Peter Jackson's films
Too much wonderment to praise
In a mere haiku

For years I waited
and scarcely dared hope,
With fists clenched, breath bated,
Nerves taut, a strained rope.

And then a rumour flew past
Followed by news of a cast.
My spirits rose up and soared,
Peter Jackson? I was floored.

What has he done
that could come close to that world?
What brand vision
could he plan to unfurl?

The day dawned bright and new
when I was able to view
Peter Jackson's submission
that had come to fruition.

The story was nearly there,
but poor Bombadil was not.
The actors, pretty and fair,
Bravely gave it their best shot.

To sum up I'll just say
his vision was in no way
what I had dreamed for years.
I'll bet Tolkien's in tears.

Sheeana · 08-07-2003, 07:11 PM

Wow. That was good.

Hasty Ent · 08-07-2003, 07:20 PM

thanks!

I was inspired, but NOT by You Know Who

starting to think there may be a connection between Voldemort and Jackson

Sheeana · 08-07-2003, 08:30 PM

Do you remember a time
Way back when............A moment
A year, A day, A sublime
moment.

Recollection of an existence
A time before Orlando Bloom
A time before Jackson's negligence
When Bilbo wasn't Ian Holm.

Sadly, slowly, mind encumbered
Forever obliterated by a Sea Of Celluloid.
Gently turn the pages; silently accept the void
Morn for the lost, Descry the lumbering…

Inelegance that is Peter Jackson.......Stinging hurt
Resonating within............Watching Lurtz
A never-before-seen match; an unforgivable sight
"Tis merely a scratch!" – A Laughable Fight.

And so I have to come to ask:
Do you remember a time
Before the mind was raped
Way back when............A moment
Before we learned to hate
A year, A day, A sublime
Moment that could not last.

Hasty Ent · 08-07-2003, 08:32 PM

whoa...

when did you start channeling Keats?

Sheeana · 08-07-2003, 08:37 PM

When he wouldn't find his own head.

Lizra · 08-07-2003, 08:51 PM

My goodness Sheeana! I'm touched by your pain!

Nice poem!

Elf Girl · 08-09-2003, 12:01 PM

I like BoP's poems. Hasty Ent's was good too.

Sheeana · 08-10-2003, 02:13 AM

Yes, the first one is quite good, isn't it?

Thanks.

Gwaimir Windgem · 08-12-2003, 05:53 AM

Okay, now you two have really written good poems. Hasty Ent and BoP, I take off my hat and bow.

Hasty Ent · 08-12-2003, 12:37 PM

Spasibo!
