Summary: A song invoking the kindreds of the Amanyar to defense, a drabble-poem



With sword and spear
And palantir
The Noldor bold
Would ward and hold
Against the dark
Ignite a spark

With bell and song
Steadfast and strong
The Vanyar bright
Yet know of plight
And take up arms
Against alarms

With knife and net
With storm-sails set
Teleri know
The winds that blow
On wave and shore
Stand to the fore

The Eldar sing
Their hammers ring
In Sunlight dance
With bow and lance
Yet war would leave
And no more grieve

Yet to Aman
The Foe does plan
To venture nigh
Assault the sky
Against that end
All will defend

Wow, it's really cool that this work has both the structure of a poem and also exactly 100 words! It's very evocative too. ♡
