These are wonderful, Sil - the second especially. I loved the juxtaposition of Pippin standing so stalwartly and determined to guard such a precious and ethereal thing.

Very clever! I love this image of Frodo, so masculine but essentially still the gentlehobbit - at home with his books and writing - we so often imagine him.

> In the line "Impotent was my power, futile my foresight, darkness my vision" I am not sure darkness is quite right. I see just dark as working better here. JMHO.

Author's note: I used the noun rather than the adjective to say what he saw, not what it looked like, i.e. he saw darkness itself, not something dark, or nothing at all.

Nice! I like how his obsession grows from the start of the drabble and explodes at the end. I knew it was Saruman - great characterization! This was excellent.

Great, Vilwarin! This is exactly what I hoped this challenge might inspire - a different look at things. How interesting to think of Aragorn as so attached to Anduril. It must have both chased him and lead him: "You have to be important, you have the sword ..." and "I'm important, see? I have this sword!" - stick and carrot. Really thought provoking.

What has he got in his pocketses? Wink smiley face

An interesting and poignant tale, Simon. I especially liked that you chose to examine this small but vital moment in the text.

This is an interesting interpretation. I liked how you turned the symbology into actual erotic elements.

I think you might consider recategorizing this an AU story. It's very self-aware, which I found distracting, our heroine lives in a very unusual Rohirric house for all those books, and I can't imagine any magic in ME that could make an adult character remember a time just six years before when they died ... unless the scribe got it wrong or I'm just thick.

You are choosing nice, character forming moments for your poems of Sam and Frodo, but they do little other than paint a quick vignette. I wonder, how Sam feels about the garden, the day, etc. why it's important to him etc. I'd look to see a bit more of that.
