Creatively express your admiration for first LOTR film, in a poem

[PMills]

If anyone is up for the challenge, creatively express in a 40 - 50 word maximum (or if you have anything on file, include it) your admiration for Peter Jackson's first LOTR film (Fellowship of the Ring) and why you love it, or what you most love about it, in a rhyming poem. Or as an acrostic of Lord of the Rings, but made to also rhyme.

[Sheeana]

Peter Jackson is a git.
And his movie ain't a hit.
I wish he was dead,
With a arrow through the head.


:D

[Lizra]

I could maybe try it for the book...but the movie? :confused: Oh well...here goes!

The Baggins party was a groovy scene,
The cake, magnificent,
The "homebrew" mean.
Lobelia's presence made Bilbo's ears twitch,
But he pulled it all off without a hitch.

Things happened right fast, after that.
Gandalf returned and told Frodo to scat!
No time for planning, they just had to flee,
The next thing you know, they're holed up in Bree!

Strider appears and persuades them to go,
Where he carried those daggers, I'll never know!
Frodo falls flat and misses his cue,
But Arwen is pumped and ready to do...

Glorfindels bit, in a twist of the tale,
Many a book lover now starts to wail!
The Council of Elrond is horribly brief,
But Boromir's charms lighten my grief.

The music is grand as the Fellowship starts.
The journey through Moria quickens my heart.
The Balrog is awesome, the falling bridge cool,
But Galadriel turns green and looks like a ghoul!

Oh! Oh! Here comes Lurtz, Saruman's joy!
His thighs look like leather, his snarl rather coy.
But Boromir's death is so hard to take,
Sean Bean seems so real, the book guy seems fake.

[Lizra]

WEll...does anyone like my poem? Is it ready for the Entmoot Anthology? :p

[Elvet]

Bravo! Well done :D
I especially love the part about Strider's daggers, Boromir's charms and the last line.

[Lizra]

Yes! :o Thank you Elvet! ;)

[IronParrot]

Peter Jackson's films
Too much wonderment to praise
In a mere haiku

:D

Poetic genius! :D

[Sheeana]

thankee. :p

IP: I thought all your posts were supposed to be intelligent? :p :p

[Hasty Ent]

For years I waited
and scarcely dared hope,
With fists clenched, breath bated,
Nerves taut, a strained rope.

And then a rumour flew past
Followed by news of a cast.
My spirits rose up and soared,
Peter Jackson? I was floored.

What has he done
that could come close to that world?
What brand vision
could he plan to unfurl?

The day dawned bright and new
when I was able to view
Peter Jackson's submission
that had come to fruition.

The story was nearly there,
but poor Bombadil was not.
The actors, pretty and fair,
Bravely gave it their best shot.

To sum up I'll just say
his vision was in no way
what I had dreamed for years.
I'll bet Tolkien's in tears.

[Sheeana]

Wow. That was good.

[Hasty Ent]

thanks!:D

I was inspired, but NOT by You Know Who

starting to think there may be a connection between Voldemort and Jackson

[Sheeana]

Do you remember a time
Way back when............A moment
A year, A day, A sublime
moment.

Recollection of an existence
A time before Orlando Bloom
A time before Jackson's negligence
When Bilbo wasn't Ian Holm.

Sadly, slowly, mind encumbered
Forever obliterated by a Sea Of Celluloid.
Gently turn the pages; silently accept the void
Morn for the lost, Descry the lumbering…

Inelegance that is Peter Jackson.......Stinging hurt
Resonating within............Watching Lurtz
A never-before-seen match; an unforgivable sight
"Tis merely a scratch!" – A Laughable Fight.

And so I have to come to ask:
Do you remember a time
Before the mind was raped
Way back when............A moment
Before we learned to hate
A year, A day, A sublime
Moment that could not last.

[Hasty Ent]

whoa...

when did you start channeling Keats?;)

[Sheeana]

When he wouldn't find his own head. ;)

[Lizra]

My goodness Sheeana! I'm touched by your pain! :eek: :) Nice poem!

[Elf Girl]

I like BoP's poems. Hasty Ent's was good too.

[Sheeana]

Yes, the first one is quite good, isn't it? ;) Thanks. :)

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Okay, now you two have really written good poems. Hasty Ent and BoP, I take off my hat and bow.

[Hasty Ent]

Spasibo!:D

[Sheeana]

Pip! Pip! :D

[Lizra]

Awwww, screw you guys! :p

[Sheeana]

But Lizra, the fact that yours is fabulous goes without saying!

[Lizra]

Oh..well that makes sense then...:rolleyes: ;)

[PippinTook]

wow! you are really talented! I like to write poems and all, but those are not poems, they are the soul of some person deep in your heart! it is amazing!, here is my attempt to dust the path you have walked with my useless folly.
Alas for Glorifindel,
I once knew him well,
Alas Tom Bomadilo,
And dear old man willow.
Arwen? Arwen who?
And Good old Fatty Bolger too.
The romance was sweet,
And I love the hairy feet.
Gandalf and Galadriel?
I never saw them cast a spell?
But Faramir, is the worst,
I say, New Line is cursed

actually, i liked the movie, but nothing rymed eith worst, actually, cursed doesn't even ryme with worst! *shakes head sadly* I can't ryme, thank you for taking 10 seconds to read my scribble

[Valaróma]

That was good :)

Get ready for a classic MY poem ;)

Lights flickered off as my heart grew alert.
But the time I'd been waiting for made me feel like dirt.
Where was Gorfindel? And good old Jolly Tom?
Is this really the movie that was supposed to be the bomb?

Elrond disappointing, not tall and fair.
Did Peter Jackson really truly care?
What happened with Galadriel didn't seem the same.
And what about Fatty? I hang my head in shame.

And when I read the beloved books again.
I cease to remember, with much tearful pain.
Of the way things were before the gloom.
Before Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom

[Varda Oiolosseo]

wow that's good! :D :D

Well done to everyone! :D

[Hasty Ent]

Nice! -- and Lizra, I really liked your contribution, too.

seems the majority are not positive -- where's Black Breathalizer?

I'm waiting for his paean. :D ;)

[Sheeana]

Bags not for alerting him of this. :p

[Lizra]

Where's this thread starter? Hello....PMills....A little feedback please! How you like it? :D

[Elf Girl]

I don't think BB reads the Writer's Workshop forum. Of course nothing in text could compete with the utter perfection of films.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Now, Now, be fair...he did say the Wargs weren't quite right. Give him his due. :p

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Lizra, while of course you know I can't officially condone any poem which says that any part of PJ's work was better than the correspondent part of Tolkien's, between you and me, it was well written indeed (even if I don't agree with all the content) ;)

[Elf Girl]

There was a professor called Tolkien,
But now all his works have been broken.
Peter Jackson filmed fast,
And with romance and laughs,
He left of the books not a token.

[Tessar]

There once was a book,
Called Lord of the Rings,
by good J.R. Tolkien,
A professor or something.

And then came a man,
on a loooong train trip,
who opened the book,
and just couldn't quit.

Jackson's vision was grand,
like a day in the sun,
but the acting was bland,
and the drama unfun!

So then came the music,
I really liked that!
So moving! So bold!
I ran out to buy that!

On the way too the store,
I tripped on a moth,
who called me a fink,
and flew off in a huff!

And so to this day,
I all ways do try,
not to trip over moths,
when music I buy!

But back to the movie,
with acting so bland,
and music so bold,
and dancing can-cans.

The balrog was awsome,
like a firey flame,
which is rather redundant,
but oh, what the hay.

Good Gandalf I loved,
his magic was sweet,
his 'dieing' was bad,
But I'm over that now, I think.

There's no more to say,
except it was grand,
as a movie I loved it,
as the book it was sad!

~*~*~*~*~*~

Annnnnywhoooo. I rock. :p

And lizra, that was AWSOME! Hehehehe...

[Lizra]

Yes you do! ;) Watch those moths though! Dangerous creatures! :eek: Thank you ! :)
