Title: Fellowship Clerihews
Rating: G
Theme: Poetry
Elements: "And he yearned for the mirth of the populous earth." (The Adventures of Tom Bombadil "The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon") Just because I wanted to write something funny.
Author's Notes: These poems are a specific type of humorous verse-- Clerihew: A humorous format contained in a single quatrain and composed of two rhyming couplets. The rhyme scheme is a-b-a-b with lines of uneven length. Clerihews are usually written as pseudo-biographical pieces about a famous personage. The name of the subject ends the first, or occasionally the second line and the humor is light and whimsical instead of satirical. Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) created the format to avoid boredom in school. Inkspot.com
Summary: A collection of nine short humorous verses about the members of the Fellowship of the Ring.
Word Count: 208

Title: Finrod's Promise
Rating: PG
Theme: Poetry 2013
Elements: "Namarie"
Author's Notes: This is a re-write of Galadriel's "Namarie" (the English version), with a few phrases borrowed from "Winter comes to Nargothrond" and one phrase taken from Frodo's dream in the house of Tom Bombadil. Probably something like this has been done before. I hope it is acceptable for the challenge, although strictly speaking it is not exactly a new poem.
Dedicated to Oshun as a belated birthday gift.
Summary: Finrod Felagund is more optimistic than his sister Galadriel. It is up to the reader to decide who he is addressing.

Since Dreamflower will be on hiatus as a mod for a few weeks, we are looking for a new co-mod on a trial basis. This person would assist in posting announcements and sending out prompts for challenges. We need someone with plenty of fannish enthusiasm and the time to help with attending to the mod duties.
If you are interested please email Cathleen and we will discuss.
Thanks guys!

Title: A Moment of Light
Rating: G
Theme: March of Power
Elements: Frodo passes the Cross-roads
Author's Notes: I've seen it noted that Frodo finds hope in a sight that would ordinarily be connected to Sam as flowers and plants encircle the fallen head of the King, while Sam finds it in Frodo's milieu when he spots the star above Mordor's murk. I wanted to explore that a bit further.... For Lavender Took for her birthday.
Summary: Frodo Baggins is inspired to hope at the Cross-roads.
