I found this in an old notebook XD
I decided to write it here instead of in the poem book because it is about LOTR...I guess it's a summary of the Ring of Power from the beginning of the Second Age????????????
Enjoy?
In lands where Elven lords were king
Came a beautiful stranger wielding a ring
He brought his skills of magic and lore
He was nobody anyone had seen before
He was called Giver of Gifts and Annotar,
And through his power he guided them far
Eventually Three Rings of Power were made
Rings of Power, that would never fade
But underneath his false impression
He had a twisted, sinister mission
Unbeknownst to anyone,
He was a Maiar, turned—and strong
Saron grew with all his might
Blanketing the land in eternal night
His own ring, to rule them all
Revealed what soon was to befall
The truth came at a sudden hour
No mercy for the Ring of Power
So then the elves all went to war
To fight with men of Numenor.
At the Battle of Dagorlad
The troops were led by Gil-Galad
Durin and Elendil fought side by side
The three convinced to turn the tide
And by the strength of men and elves
With dwarves, for they, they fought as well
Sauron's power was diminished
His evil reign at last was finished
Isildur cut off Sauron's hand-
It wore the ring, a plain gold band.
Just destroy it! Throw it in!
He was begged by friend and kin.
But that same hour, the thoughts began
It's mine, announced the spell cast man
I'll keep it here! Here, in my halls.
My city will be the greatest of all.
But day by day, hour by hour,
The One Ring unleashed its power
For all the work of Middle Earth
There would be no second birth.
The vengeful Sauron rose again
With strength in numbers, slaves of Men
As long as the Ring still shone bright,
Sauron the Deceiver continued to fight
His soul and darkness, fire and steel
Bound forever—fate was sealed.
Isildur died, the ring was lost,
The whole ordeal simply forgot
The history became a tale,
A myth about Isildur's fail
However, history changed
When the creature Gollum came
He found the Ring and lost his mind
The Preciousss, he cooed, the Precious is mine!
A while passed, more or less
When Bilbo Baggins had a quest
To defeat the dragon in Erebor
To take back the homeland of the dwarves
Thus they began, 15 in all
The dwarves, Bilbo, and wizard tall
They travelled over hills and fells
And forests dark and rocky dells
As Bilbo looked inside a cave,
He found the ring that Gollum "saved"
He took it home, back to the Shire
Weary, spent and old and tired
The years passed and Gandalf came
He was surprised to see Bilbo looked the same.
He saw the Ring and began to look
For clues and tales of lore in books
Bilbo, however, had a plan.
He wanted to see other lands.
He left the ring, at Gandalf's bequest
His heir, young Frodo, got that and the rest.
So as Gandalf returned and Bilbo departed.
The new War of the Ring had just been started.
