Since the judges of the Barrow-Downs Middle-Earth Haiku Contest couldn't participate, they decided to have a little friendly competition of their own and allow you, the visitors of the Barrow-downs, decide your favorites.
** AND THE WINNERS ARE **
| Serious |
ai! calaloté
i laurelindórenan
aldaron, mellyrn!
by Sharku |
|
| Funny |
Can't think! So frightened!
Wait, what's this in my pocket?
Three guesses? What luck!
by Gilthalion |
The Judges' Serious Haikus
| The Barrow-Wight |
faint icy star-shine
standing stones echo voices
caught beneath the earth |
tall grey kings of stone
rushing waters pass them by
mighty argonath |
|
golden hair flowing
hidden maiden's grey eyes shine
witch king's bane revealed |
|
| Gilthalion |
My power constrained.
Mortal choices countervail.
Little time is left. |
|
The foul Dwimmerlaik!
Deathless to the hand of man?
I am a woman! |
|
Hammer strikes anvil.
Smaug must pay for dwarvish deaths!
The anvil resounds. |
|
| Underhill |
Golden sunlit wood
To be and has been converge
Eternity ends |
'Ash nazg,' he utters
'Tra-la-la-lally' silenced
Dark days lie ahead< |
|
Doom, doom, doom echoes
Ancient evil battles Grey
Hope is born from death |
|
| Sharkű |
Giant of silver
golden rustles high above
the Shire breathes |
|
As green defeats white
bright shine of sun on hemlock
fairest light dances |
|
ai! calaloté
i laurelindórenan
aldaron, mellyrn! |
|
The Judges' Funny Haikus
| The Barrow-Wight |
black chasm gaping
evil wakens with a splash
young fool of a took |
foamy pool of gold
liquid power filling veins
oh! fourteen-twenty |
|
under shapeless felt bag
over star-lit country roads
eavesdropper samwise |
|
| Gilthalion |
Can't think! So frightened!
Wait, what's this in my pocket?
Three guesses? What luck! |
|
Wizards argue on high.
Dangling rag tag is amazed!
Look out!!!!! Ooooh! What's this? |
|
One more thing to do!
I'll send it off tomorrow,
or the day after... |
|
| Underhill |
Eyes of red fire
Black mantle; bone-chilling voice
Witch-king don't hurt me! |
|
Hobbits caper nude,
Bombadil cries, 'Come hoy now!'
What would Gandalf say? |
|
An ugly fool mocks
Red missile like lightning strikes
Waste of an apple |
|
| Sharkű |
Ancient realm's Master
Songs of power echo far
Ring-a-dong dillo! |
A gnarled old hobbit
gentle touch in spell-dark air
sneaking! Yes, sneaking! |
|
Stench is dumb in here
pendulum swings at ceiling
Ufthak's eyes blinking |
|
