LOTR Drabble: A Visit to the Northern Kingdom in the Autumn by the Prince and Princess of Ithilien
It's been long and long since I've written much of anything, even poetry. The idea for this drabble came to me whilst I was looking at this autumnal icon of Faramir and Eowyn with the falling leaves. I knew that I wanted to write something for a Middle-Earth fall.

A Visit to the Northern Kingdom in the Autumn by the Prince and Princess of Ithilien
Eowyn liked the fall, best of all the seasons, in the Northern Kingdom. It was so different from the southern kingdoms, on Rohan's vast plains, with golden wheat fields in harvest time, before the first frost, or the conifers in the Emyn Arnen that stayed green all the year round.
And she loved walking with Faramir through these woods, with all the different colours of leaves, red and yellow and orange.
They stood now amidst those falling leaves.
"How does my lady this day?"
"I am content, wherever my lord is."
Smiling, hand in hand, through the woods they passed.
