New poem in Tower Vol I: End out May 15th!
The thing about lotr is that it spends so much time on describing trees because it’s actually about trees. And it’s also about languages and stories and songs and that’s why the songs are in there
It doesn’t make sense to say that Tolkien should have cut back on describing these things because all of them are part of the fundamental core of what lotr is and what it’s trying to do. It’s—fundamentally—just a poem about trees

I just love this contemporary interpretation of Cú Chulainn by Smug One in Dundalk

Achilles
I
To them I am the brute not the lover
The raging king’s hound, his gold spear – death’s kiss
Was this the way, was there no other?
II
History, prayèrs did try to cover –
Those violent delights, and that violent bliss
- To them I am the brute not the lover.
III
Yet, if time would but only uncover
Those extra curves of your smiles that they miss – I miss.
Was this the way – was there no other?
IV
If the Prince of Troy did not hover over
My mind and your ghost – in debt to the Styx –
To them I am the brute not the lover!
V
They forget romeo, the pre-mover;
Was it for this you died, was it for this?
Alas, I am the brute. Not your lover.
Was this the way? Was there no other?
