Author: Azalaisdep Title: Till the World is Mended Characters: Tom Bombadil, Goldberry Rating: G Source: RoTK Disclaimer: Middle-earth belongs to Tolkien and his heirs: I wander there for fun, not profit
The entire drabble is exquisite, but I especially love how Tom's attention wanders so easily from the War's end to the calling of an owl--events of equal importance to him. Thank you for sharing this!
I had owls and foxes and moonlight and all sorts of things I wanted to work in, but there just wasn't the space - you're absolutely right, I wanted to get across that very different perspective Bombadil brings to everything in LoTR, of wind and water and hillside being just as important as wars over Rings. Thank you!
Thank you! I did work quite hard to get the rhyme and the metre right. I once wrote an entire drabble in Bombadil-metre and the scary thing was how hard it then was to stop... ;-)
