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!
