The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Ah, comfy!

Well. Where shall I begin? I've loved The Professor since childhood, so I hope to fit right in...

Well come and well met!

It looks like your Tolkien credentials are up, so it's just a matter of how good your smalltalk is.

Well, that will have to do till Ruthy shows up!

Oh - and I didn't comment, but your wandering off ~over there~ did not go un-noticed by me.

We talk about most anything, but we try to be nice about it ;~D.

Where are ya from? Do you really fly, are you Dutch, and are you a man-type person?

I am a hobbit-lass up in Washington, and my hubbit "ecurbh" and I met right here in the Hobbit Hole.

"Small Talk" and hobbits - now THAT's funny!

Should I say a "little" something? Or have you had it up to here (pointing at knees), yet?

Wow. An online love that succeeded. Wonderful romance.

Originally from PA-Dutch country - (hence the profile flag), but I'm all over the place.

I'm on Active Duty for now, but I'm a Guardsman. And I've been FReeping for some time before deciding on a name - it just fits.

But, I'd rather jump in with the Hobbit Hole. I like writing, and have done a lot of short stories. I'm told I write in a "Tolkienesque" style - which i take as high praise!

A writer and a soldier! Well this is a special occasion! We should break out a bottle of the old wineyards, I think we have a few bottles left!

Many here fancy themselves as writers, Jen and Rosie and a few others are writing in a NaNoWammy thing maybe they'll tell you about... It has something to do with writing a bunch of crap. Every year they spend the month of November doing that. ;~D

You like writing! Cool. A new victim - er, member, of my special bug-list. Every November I convince as many of my fellow hobbit hole dwellers as are stupid enough to take me up on it, to participate in National Novel Writing Month - nanowrimo.org - and write a 50,000 word story in a month. Some of us are in the middle of that right now.

What sort of stories do you write? Fantasy?
