Hello, beautiful readers! I'm once again combining prompts. The first prompt comes from #TankaTuesday where Colleen Chesebro invites us to use a kigo word from the White Dew season in our poem. I've chosen to use harvest moon, Bilbo Baggins, and Frodo. The second prompt comes from Melissa's Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge which provides us with the fantastic image below.
My love of fantasy began with The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. My 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Hoffman, used to read it to us. She even took us to watch the play being performed by a high school cast. So, with this month including both Bilbo and Frodo's birthday, I had to include them. I chose to write a tanka for this challenge.

ReplyDeleteThat makes me so happy to hear, Melissa! I appreciate you sharing that! :-)
DeleteI don't think I ever made it through all the books. When I can pronounce a name and there are too many I get confused. I did watch parts of the movies...
ReplyDeleteI do like getting lost in books... one of the reasons I'm a tad behind... 'fun' murder mysteries...
I read The Hobbit in 7th grade, I think. I tried to read the first book in Lord of the Rings, and the names just made it too hard, so I set it aside. I picked it up again as an adult and fell in love with it. Sometimes, we just have to wait for our brain to get with the program. Lol! Thanks for visiting, Jules! :-)
