Nice. I don't tend to read a lot of poetry online, just a personal preference, but I liked this. You captured the sadness in Gollum's obsession nicely without it being overly morose, and added sinister elements here and there that gave the poem a shivery quality that was very much in character.

I am not too fond of nontraditional verse when dealing with Tolkien; his work cries for the structure of rhyme-scheme poetry. I will make an exception in this case, however: this poem has managed to capture the essence of Gollum without resorting to the hysterical. It's very well done.
