*shiver* Fascinating and so terribly spooky. A really evocative piece. I'm very much enjoying your Six Days of Spooky!

The Dead Marshes are particularly conducive to spooky, aren't they? ^_~ I'm really glad to hear you're liking these--I'm certainly having fun writing them!

Oooh, I love it...it's very poetic, not just spooky! I love that last sentence, I really do!

Thanks! I've been writing lots of poetry lately, some must have sneaked into this. ^_~ Glad you liked!

Insects flit above the hollow spears, as if the battle were only yesterday.

That's really well written. Nice reflection on both the horror and timelessness of battle and death.

Thanks! Glad to hear this worked for you!

Hmm, that's a pretty good description of the Marshes themselves too, when ya think about it. ^_~

The Dead Marshes have always freaked me out, and they're not freaking me out any less here. *shudders*

Any place called the Dead Marshes is bound to be freaky. :p

Thanks for the comment!

(Note: just doing a little catch-up at tolkien100.)

This is very poetic, I would say elegiac in tone. It captures the feel of the Dead Marshes perfectly.
