I wrote a haiku about Mount Doom
For the Vocal+ Challenge "High-ku", we had to write a haiku about a mountain. They never said it had to be a real mountain.
Just give it a like please.

Things the Fellowship has argued about
- What name to call Aragorn
- What name to call Gandalf
- What to call their meals. Boromir thinks, if it is eaten at dinnertime, regardless of whether it is the first meal of the day or not, then it is dinner. Sam thinks it isn't proper to call the first meal of the day dinner. Aragorn suggests they combine the two words but now everyone is fighting over whether it should be called breakfast-dinnner or dinner-breakfast. The fight nearly becomes physical
- Whether Legolas or Gimli is winning their daily argument with eachother
- If hobbits are regular sized and everyone else is really big, or if everyone else is regular sized and hobbits are small
- The same as above except with horses and ponies
- If Gimli's beard is real or not. This one started as a joke between Merry and Pippin but then Legolas saw how mad it made Gimli and so continues to bring it up
- Inter-hobbit fighting about whether it is called pot-ae-toes, pot-ah-toes, or taters
- "Can Legolas really talk to trees, or is he just fucking with us?" Aragorn and Gandalf refuse to weigh in on this
- Whether the Ent-draught caused Merry and Pippin to grow or if they just did that on their own. This fight is Pippin vs. Everyone Else
- Whether the non-hobbits of the Fellowship would be Tooks, Brandybucks, or Bagginses. This argument is unintelligible to most of them, although Gandalf has the knowledge to be offended when Pippin suggests he would be a Took.
- "What would happen if someone ate the ring?"
- Fights over whether the elves, the dwarves, or the hobbits tell the story of the reclaiming of Erebor most accurately. Even though Gandalf was there, he just shrugs when anyone asks him
- Which variety of pipeweed is the best kind. Merry threatened Gimli to a duel over this one
- Who gets next watch

“A fool…but an honest fool he remains.”
Gandalf could’ve roasted the entire fellowship and they wouldn’t argue because he’s always right.

Moments when you do not speak during a watchthrough of Lord of the Rings
1. Boromir’s death 2. The lighting of the beacons 3. Theoden’s speech at Pelennor Fields
Moments when you do speak during a watchthrough of Lord of the Rings
1. “Okay, but did you know that when he kicks that helmet, he actually breaks multiple toes? That agonized scream is actual, physical pain, and it was by far the best take.”

It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.

And we shouldn’t be here at all, if we’d known more about it before we started. But I suppose it’s often that way. The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of sport, as you may say. But that’s not the way of it in the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we wouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end.
