Thanks you gals! (guys? gals? heh)

I really appreciate the feedback and perhaps previously mentioned that this was my first LotR piece. Doh! Wasn't sure how it would come off to you experts, so I'm glad you found value in the piece. Merci!!

The first piece out of the two POVs, by far, is my favorite drabble out of the two. The imagery and emotional connection to the surrounding setting came across loud and clear. Also, the yearning for those who wait for him.... very sweet. Nice job!!!

My favorite piece of wording: "The watery wind chilled him...." That set the tone immed. for me. Bravo! Wave smiley face

I, on the other hand, have no idea who the lovers are (I know little of LorR book lore). Heheheee.... However, I offer this: Interesting way to handle the text - very straight forward and to the point. I'd almost dare to say very 'Chekhovian' of you. (A compliment.) A very fun, bouncy-in-a-strong-way, read. Smile smiley face

A good drabble.

That is a very sweet poem, touching on inner strength and determination. The rhythm, rhyme and repeated verse was used very thought full. Nice choices!

This was a very poetic piece. Short, but packed full of imagery and while sad, offered a ray of comfort.

Don't mind me... poking around two years later than when this was originally put up. Good thing LotR is more or less frozen in time, persay, yes?

You do have a very poetic imagery that I find appealing. Short pieces of work, it really packs a punch. I would have one suggestion however, and that would be to extend a bit beyond the assumption of who or what an Ungoliant is. Being a bit of an outsider who claims not to have any LotR experience, I can only picture the large spider from the movie, but I do not know if that is the char. in play. 'Bound prey' was my clue. I hope I have your story correct in my vision.

I looked online for more recent work, so if I missed something, feel free to point it out. Nice and compact piece however. I'd be curious what you are writing these days.

Sweet little piece. I must declare that I enjoyed the analogy and pictorial portrayed through Samwise's words. Also, the tone of the work is very consistent. Bravo! Smile smiley face
