Tolkien's Elf

LOTR, the Hobbit, Silmarillion, had influenced my concept of beauty, i dedicate this sonnet both to Sir J.R.R. tolkien's art and to her, whom i refer.

Radiance again filled the chilling corners
As Tolkien's Elf set foot on the white hall.
Heathens suddenly became believers
And fell asunder the cold daunting wall.
Though so brief the oresence of Elven fair,
The promise of warm spring was felt with grace,
The scent of wooded glades waft'd in the air
As if the old gods reached out to embrace
The sordid earth to let bliss reign once more.
Let it be still, good cheers and gaiety
If only the fair Elf of Tolkien's lore
Would not leave this realm for eternity.
But Alas! It would not last this great glee,
For Elven fair to distant lands must flee.

Very nice, it was a wonderful attempt to copy Tolkien's style!

as a fan of Tolkien myself, I found this to be a great attempt at his style of writing and the parallels you drew from his air toward the elves he created, and the woman you admire. Some of the lines, for example the fourth, can be a tad confusing with the incorporation of wordy phrases, so be thoughtful of what words that fit the tone, but also what keeps to the flow of the poem. Otherwise, great job!
