Day 4 of my little poetry challenge.
The theme is โ€œThe Shireโ€
Is this even a poem? Well, yes. Doing this activity increased my appreciation for Tolkienโ€™s prose. There is such a rich variety of words and sentence structures on this single page.

From the day we met
every moment has been full of
light and the dark corners of my
life have been
overthrown and drowned.
We met by 
strange chances and
happened upon a world
in which united hearts find
promise of a fairer world.

There is probably some kind of horrible Venn diagram involving the Punic Wars, Hannibal Lector, and the Donner Party. I canโ€™t think of whatโ€™s in the middle though.

Iโ€™m laughing over the idea of Sam Gamgee visiting a camping supply store. You could definitely improve a trip to Mordor with some of this stuff. #tolkien #luinellรซ

They are blacktail deer. They are a subspecies of mule deer, a bit smaller than their cousins. They are pretty fluffy this time of year. They are everywhere in town.

If there is I donโ€™t know it. Iโ€™ve got two Roundup neighbors and a third who puts out poison rodent traps. I do not enjoy finding dead wildlife of any kind.

Herald

For as long as the cold of winter
Embraced me, I slept
Beneath the soil and
Remained still and quiet,
Until the light reached down
And drew me up with dewy fingers, and
Rising, I unfolded the banner that says,
Yet again, spring has come.

February has finally come. Here is an acrostic poem I wrote a while back.

Iโ€™m not going to bother resisting (itโ€™s pointless). Full Sauron at once, but with leftist economic policies. I cannot be trusted! Bahaha

Iโ€™d like to say Iโ€™d nobly resist, but who am I kidding? It would go something like: nobody can resist this -> why bother? -> urban planning Sauron, in about 6 minutes. Thereโ€™s gonna be a whole lot more roundabouts let me tell you!
