  • "OSA Poetry Challenge # 1: Metaphors" by Viv

    Started 01 Feb 2008: Ended Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:00 pm

    Write a poem using an extended metaphor for something in Tolkien's world. For instance, Tolkien himself used the cycle of the day and beauteous female elves to describe the overall presence of elves in Middle-earth: Galadriel as morning and Arwen as twilight, etc. A hobbit might compare most anything to preparing a multi-course meal. A dwarf might think of something in terms of smithing. A Rider of the Mark would likely use equestrian terms to describe things.

    No line limit, no meter or rhyme restraints.

    This is the first monthly OSA Poetry Challenge. New ones will appear on the first day of each month and will have 6-month deadlines (which should allow for epic tales as well as shorter verse). Please feel free to suggest Poetry Challenge topics on the OSA Poetry Challenges thread in the Forum.
