The following Silmarillion-inspired poem (fanpome?) was written for the quote of the month on the Silmarillion Writers' Guild: Melkor and Finwë battle in Formenos after the Darkening of Valinor.
The form is a sestina, which originated in the 12th-century with the French troubadours. The sestina uses six six-line stanzas plus a triad at the end. The end-words of each line rotates between stanzas, and the triad includes all six end-words. The form is more complicated than that, but if you want to know more, that's what Wikipedia is for. :)
Comments--both praise and critique--here or on the SWG are welcome!
On SWG, the poem is rated Teens for violence.
