The bookshelf of Fantasy
The pines of Dor-Lomin
The Baron Harkonnen
Lothlorien’s swan ship of gold
The shining Silmaril
A ride on a barrel
The sandworms of Dune to behold
The hero Estraven
And Poe’s eerie raven
The treasures of Smaug were untold
When Brandin was scolded
Isolla exploded
And they stood ’til her body was cold
Saruman’s tower
And Sauron’s great power
And Bombadil, oldest of old
The Nephredil flower
The hobbits’ great hour
And the soul that poor Sméagol had sold
The Eloi and Morlocks
The wizards and warlocks
Fair Luthien, Beren the Bold
And Moria’s door
And the Priest-Kings of Gor
And the stories that Tolkien told
Feanor’s Folly
The catapults’ volley
The Fellowship’s climb in the cold
And Yoda’s finale
The Jedis’ last rally
(This story is yet to be told)

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
Oh, this is wonderful. I felt each one of them, hero or villain float by as I read. I must read again and again. Thank you , Lee!
