I get to kill Paris! I get to kill Paris!

The annual 'open mic' is coming up, and I like to think of my pieces spur of the moment, just before I need them. Best stuff comes that way.

I'm working on two pieces. One is a poem about Glorfindel, but where you could easily believe it's about a knight slaying a dragon, and the other is about the fall of Troy...

An apple was the tragic cause/when fair Paris broke the laws/ as set upon him by discord/ for Eris, she is ever bored/ and loves to create faux pas.

Behind the walls they could not be harmed/ where Trojans walked the streets unarmed/ their downfall you know of course/ was no more than a wooden horse/ for with it they were charmed.

That's just, obviously, the first little bit.. still working out the rest..

oh? you want to hear about Glorfindel, too?

That one I'm writing from the middle out, kinda.. here's a bit..

Whispers of wishes from the nearly deceased came as he tumbled down with the wily beast.

Xanthus, yet expired, they buried him well, and flowers sprung up where his body now dwells.

Is it okay to declare these officially DEAD?

Just wondering... if anyone knows anything more on these...

Oh, and regarding the last posting - the poems/stories that the students are encouraged to do are called 'alphabet stories'; basically the idea being that it's easy to just write 26 lines going from a to z. Last year, I just brought my own stuff.. a poem about ballet (okay, it was really a Legolas in a tutu poem, but no one was any wiser.. *snickers*) and a short story that was a reworking of 'Such a Little Thing' (names changed to protect the guilty..)

anyhow, I thought it might be fun to challenge myself to use their format..

I was told that, although everyone else is asked to keep their readings between three and five minutes, that I would not be held to that. 'Take as long as you want'.

Ah, it's good to be the queen.. hee hee..

random thought

I want a shirt that says:

My contribution to this fandom has been Glorfindel's love of cheesecake.
And goats.
(If you were looking for something profound, you should have stuck with canon)


:Boy, that's quite a mouthful to fit on a tshirt..

mmm... cheesecake...

wait, gotta reword that, makes it seem like Glorfindel has a love of goats... hmm.

heh.

i'll work on it..

Oh, yeah..

I updated more of Unforgettable last night.. the story with Glorfindel and Erestor in Gondolin with Salgant being a jackass and Ecthelion just trying to keep the peace.. ok, linkage:
