The Red Book: a Sestina
Dec. 17th, 2009 10:32 pmOpen this book and see what you'll find...
After some thought, I've decided that my existing Tolkien poetry will be uploaded to LJ in the order of the story they illustrate (more or less). The Red Book is the beginning, when we metaphorically sit ourselves down by the fire and begin to read the adventure laid out before us. This particular work is in the form of a sestina, in which key words are re-used and shuffled around at the ending of the various stanzas lines.
The Red Book
( Within your ancient, leatherbound covers...words whisper at the turning )
