Words beneath a dappled sky

What a deception, and treachery deep,
Was that soft kiss of snow on the warmth of the cheek.

What would this tale be without at least one poem for Caradhras, who defeated their attempt aand sent them thus to the darkness of Moria below? But snow is so light and so pretty...what harm could a few flakes do?

Treacherous Snowfall
( The smallest ones lay too quiet and chilled, In their downy nests of snow they sleep - )

But it's so cold

Title: A Bit More
Characters: Sam, Bill the Pony
Wordcount: 838
Summary: Sam Gamgee's view of what looks to be a bad time on Caradhras, shared with the sympathetic Bill.

A/N: This is an introspective sort of vignette I discovered hadn't been posted anywhere but the rarely-visited Scrapbook. It is brought out and dusted off for inclusion here, the result of a prompt challenge to write something based on the verse at the beginning.

( And Bill could take on a bit more, couldn't you, lad? )
