What a very martial poem, it scans almost like drumbeats! A great description of that very decisive battle.

(BTW, would you please put your title and your name in the subject line?)

Thank you! It was an interesting challenge, to put these words into an ode! (And I managed to fix it, finally! Sorry about that.)

Yes, never was the need for the King more urgent, his healing hand needed both for the lands and the people.

Oh, yes, and so it proved. Thanks so much, Hhimring!

(Don't you love it when they post twice? Aargh!)

LOL, I'll add you to my list! There are 4-5 LJ's where my comments duplicate. I try to go back and delete the duplicate when I can.

This is lovely! I like how it focuses on Aragorn's healing more than how he helped win the battle.

blslarner April 19 2017, 09:59:26 UTC

I've always suspected that Aragorn himself preferred to serve as healer rather than as a warrior, no matter how needed warriors were in his day. Thank you so, BrookeofLorien!
