Poem- Elrond's Sorrow

[Cenerue]

So beautiful, so noble and so wise
A certain sadness stands out in Elrond's grey eyes.
He has seen great ages of time pass, endless memories unfold in his mind
Now Arwen and he must be parted, and he must forever leave her behind.

There is joy in his smile as the lovers embrace but then there is also sorrow
He will sail on the last grey ship that will leave very soon, perhaps on the morrow.
His daughter will stay and embrace her final fate
In the end she will die alone and it is far too late
Her path is set and he can no longer wait
Upon the silver sea tears and anguish will be great

But for now he will smile and accept the way of all things
As around him people celebrate the Return of the King

That's good but it doesn't have a rhthmic feel to it, like a poem should have.

[Elentari]

Poems don't have to have a rythmic feel to them. It's completely up to the poet if it does or not.

No, they don't have to have a rhythmic feel but they don't sound as awkward. All the great poets had rhythmic feels to them.

So you think it's too awkward? I'll have to work on it....
