Thuringwethil and Tilion by Himring

Thuringwethil and Tilion

Written for the following quotation prompt:

Tilion was a hunter of the company of Oromë, and he had a silver bow. He was a lover of silver, and when he would rest he forsook the woods of Oromë, and going into Lórien he lay in dream by the pools of Estë, in Telperion's flickering beams; and he begged to be given the task of tending for ever the last Flower of Silver

(Silmarillion)

‘Why do you bare teeth

at the Moon's arc?’ ‘He shot me

with his silver bow.’

Chapter End Notes

The original photo was of a view of a moon in the evening sky. I have applied filters to make the sky look darker and bluer.

The haiku was written for a tolkienfanworks challenge and also posted to Ainur Week on Tumblr. The photo is an addition made to this post on SWG.
