Author’s Notes: A short (and I mean short!) poem about (what else?) the One 
Ring.

  

Old days long past

None now live who remember it

Ever a mystery

 
Ruler of all

Isildur’s Bane

Necromancer’s Weapon

Great Power
 

Time passed on

Overlooking the lost
 

Reigns had fallen

Under the power of darkness

Lost 

Evil slept

 
The Precious

Hated, loathed

Envied, adored

Maker and breaker of Slinker and Stinker

 
At last awoken

Lusting for power

Looking for Master

 

Author’s Notes: Now read the first letter of every line… Cool, huh? Please 
review. Constructive criticism always appreciated. Thanks for reading. Hope you 
enjoyed my work!
