forlorn but not forgotten—
Erebor beckons.

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.

Lovely, lovely, lovely, my lovely Lena💕💖💕
Beautiful haiku, and I'm particularly biased because of the Tolkein inspiration.🧙🏻♂️
Mr Tolkien would smile and say, “You get it!” Wonderful haiku 🥰
Beautifully said.
I love both the haiku and image. Very unique and beautiful.
Lovely as ever ❤️
