Literature Text

From the thought of Manwë and from the free sky

Song of soaring heavenly space far and high

Eagles were born, majestic wings and free cry

Star shining brightly


Nests in clouds and all-seeing eyes that can pierce

Shrouds of shadow, attack it with talons fierce

Eagles’ song sounds, knowing no darkness and fears

Thorondor mighty


World is reshaped, cry of the eagles still sounds

Mountaintops white - Gwaihir Windlord there soars

Did not forget Manwë the sorrows and tears

Middle-earth's Children
I tried to write a poem about the Great Eagles, created by J.R.R.Tolkien in a sapphic verse. (Quite difficult form for me in English)

B2MeM prompts:
O64: sapphic (poetic forms)
N32: Rare characters (Landroval) - the topic of the poem was inspired by this prompt, although I didn't manage to include him...
