Hi guys! This was a poem I wrote one day, after being inspired by a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien called Errantry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errantry here is the information.

http://www.lyricsoncall.com/lyrics/j-r-r-tolkien/errantry-lyrics.html Here is the full poem.

He made up his own Meter, which is really impressive. If you go to the information link it explains the rules of the poem. But I'll try to explain as best I can. Here:

"Tolkien invented the meter, which consists of trisyllabic assonances, three in each set of four lines. The second and fourth line in every quartet rhyme, as do the end of the first line and beginning of the second line in every pair."

So here is the example they gave on Wikipedia:

"He battled with the Dumbledors,

the Hummerhorns, and Honeybees,

and won the Golden Honeycomb,

and running home on sunny seas,

in ship of leaves and gossamer,

with blossom for a canopy,

he sat and sang, and furbished up,

and burnished up his panoply."

That was actually in the real poem! Isn't it awesome!? I would advise you read the poem! Its great! So I thought the Meter was spectacular! So I made my own poem using his Meter! And here it is! Hope you like it! :

She was girl,

Of pearl and of Jealousy,

Her pocket's were full of Gold,

But I am told she was quite Melancholy.

Of friends she had none,

No Fun were they to her,

She'd rather be lonely,

Then Parley with girls below her.

Men from around the Globe,

In luscious robes and leather boots,

Would come to her courting,

Snorting she'd ignore the pursuits.

Her beauty was like a Peacock,

Lock's of gold and skin of pearl white,

Dress of velvet blue and green,

Seen bright in the light.

Though something inside her,

A cur of appalling violence,

A slithering snake of spite,

A parasite growing in the silence.

Mad was her lust for Beauty,

Money and Admiration,

Herself she had doomed,

Selfishness consumed her self-preservation.

She was a girl,

Of pearl and of Jealousy,

Her pocket's were full of gold,

Though I am told she was quite melancholy.
