A humble hobbit mesmerised
by one forged ring that hypnotised,
by evil forces highly prized
must be disguised, must be disguised.
To be returned from whence it came
to save the world from evil's shame,
the world would never be the same
if evil claimed, if evil claimed.
A motley crew set out to save
and with their lives so many gave,
a race that would release all slaves
oh they were brave, oh they were brave.
So many trials along the way
so many times of great dismay,
but altogether they did stay
to save the day, to save the day.
Followed by the evil ones
with battles fought, some lost and won,
so far from where they had begun
to see the sun, to see the sun.
With great struggles they rescued earth
and with the light gave true rebirth,
for Aragorn the King of worth
restored the mirth, restored the mirth.
If not for hobbits they'd be done
and Middle Earth would come undone,
for they can be compared to none
the battle won, the battle won

Ohhhh I love Lord of the Rings <3_<3
Such a wonderful tale, nice poem.
I liked the mono tetra form, its refreshing from the same kinds of rhyme schemes
Well done and Good Luck! -
It's a pleasure to have run across your entry in this contest. This poetry form is new to me, but your example here will surely compel me to search for more. (And, of course, attempt my own!) I can almost hear an itinerant minstrel singing this for her supper accompanied by her lute or harp in the hall of a feudal lord or king. Yours is still another voice that I must visit as often as I can!

Motley Crew. lol.
You know, it's little known (because it's so commonly misspelt, even in publications) but it's actually spelt "Middle-earth" not "Middle Earth," "Middle-Earth" or anything else.
Great rhythm and I liked the repetition. Really kept me captivated.
Lovely job.
Thanks for entering.

"A motley crew set out to save"
This is my favorite line of them all.
This seems almost lerical. i like it

I like the form APL, and it is very well done. Cheers!

Great! You always have it knocked down so fine! It carried the whole thought of Tolken's fantasies beautifully, (No tree spirits?)
