No Time Have I by Flora-lass

Fanwork Notes

Written for the Funky 70s challenge, using the prompt 'The Silmarillion by J R R Tolkien'.

I'd hoped to write something along these lines for Tolkien Ekphrasis Week, but didn't manage it - and now I'm rushing to meet the deadline for this challenge, with a poem which probably still needs work! The title and last line refer, in part at least, to the last-minute nature of this submission... :)

No Time Have I - a Silmarillion acrostic

Read No Time Have I - a Silmarillion acrostic

Some years ago I found a book

In which I read the tales before

Lord of the Rings; they bade me look

More deeply into ancient lore.

Amazed at Ainulindalë

Rejoicing as Arda is wrought,

I yet wish all the grief away

Lamenting every battle fought:

Lúthien, Fingolfin, Túrin, 

Intent on struggle with Melkor

Or Maedhros and his Oath-cursed kin…

No time have I for Fëanor!
