This was very vivid and well written. Go you!
I have only one problem with it: Haldir is not a Prince, he is the Marchwarden of Lothlorien. Other than that, this was very good!

I know he's not a real prince. It's like a metaphor. But Thanx!  |

Love the alliteration ("How sad to see the fallen prince") and the repetition of really good lines. I can see why you don't want to remove the word "prince." I don't think it's a problem. This line bugged me a little: "Still searching for a way out of death." In movieverse, we saw bunches of elves die in the Last Alliance. My guess is the Lorien elves, many of whom would have been at the Last Alliance, would understand the risks. And elves don't have the fear of death that humans have. After all, when they're slaughtered in war, they get invited to the Great Pool Party of Mandos. It isn't really quite so final for them. 
The poem itself is lovely, though. I enjoyed it. |

Vivid and well done. Well written, though the "flow" was a little interrupted in the second verse. A lovely poem though!  |

I enjoy allof your poems but I think this one is my favorite. It has just the perfect dose of emotion behind it.  |

| Okay, I did not see the summary, so I was a bit lost. However, I did enjoy the poem. I first thought of Theodred, though. Just goes to show. Anyway, thank you for sharing. It really is nice. |

I was slightly confused when I read it too, but it's a wonderful poem. I agree with Rous when she says she's reminded by Theodred. I was, too.
Then I read the reviews, and oh, Haldir issit? Lovely poem! |

You have a bad typo in the last line---derseve instead of deserve.
I didn't think of Haldir, I assumed Theodred. Probably because Haldir is not a prince. And I know you know, it just confused me! |
