This is powerful, Nancy... I especially like "In fields of stone" and "harsh winds of Mordor"... truly evocative!

I like the idea that Denethor knew more than he let on... with the palantír, he must have tried to find out more about this Thorongil that he hated so much....
Anyway, well done, Nancy!

Excellent Denethor voice here: both raw and poetic. I loved this line: "And with this tree he sows the seeds of our supplanting."

Excellent -I did wonder how the sappling arrived at just the right time - Elrond must have had it hidden under his cloak. LBJ

Very evocative. And I like how it ends as it begins, with the tree.

I love your drabbles. They're so brilliant. This one was no different - brilliant.

That is so heart-wrenching. I just can't think of what else to say. How poignant.
