I like the tra la la lally bits! The only thing I disliked about LotR was the absence of some song from the wood elves of Rivendell. I wrote this one to make up for it. Autumn in RivendellTune: Love is Like a Butterfly Tune can be heard at: jhfoster.tripod.com/the70s.htmlAutumn's come to Rivendell Sweet voices call like ringing bells. A time to rest before the path Can claim your feet again. If we have any kind of art To lift the burdens from your hearts We'll grant you peace in autumn days Before the winter's come. The leaves may gather round our feet But we have many guests to greet, And soon we'll fill the Hall of Fire With poetry and song. The autumn has to fade, we know, And likewise all our guests will go But we will trust that spring will come And all our friends return. Enjoy your time in Elrond's home Before through wilder realms you roam Enjoy the evening's happiness Before the fall of night. In Rivendell be glad of heart This lovely land still stands apart From mountains grim and lands that lie Beneath a shadowed veil. In Rivendell no harm will come Until all Elven might's undone Though leaves may fall, your tears will not And laughter fills the dells. So welcome then, to Rivendell Where voices ring like silver bells, Where Hope was sheltered long ago And yet is to be found. Though autumn's come to Rivendell The borders all are sound. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Neneithel

Wow, you can't stop writing things like this, can you? (please don't stop! I like your poems very much!)
About my favourite place: I am glad that Middle-Earth has so many different places. Rivendell is beautifull, but the action is more to the south. I love the contrast.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I agree, the contrasts are good. There's no place in Middle Earth that I don't like, except Mordor and even that is very well described.

It's like some jigsaw puzzle the pieces are very pretty but the picture they create is magnificent

No one chose the Shire! Well I did. The Shire is beautiful, peaceful and best of all, full of Hobbits. I'd take the lush greenery of the Shire over any Elven place of dwelling any day.
I was starting to wonder where Elves get their food from. Surely Lembas must be made out of flour, eggs or butter of some sort. And when they have feasts at Lothlorien and Rivendell, where do they get the ingredients from? Maybe the Shire exports goods or something. I can't imagine Elves growing potatoes and milking cows. Maybe Legolas, but not any other elf.

The Elves of Mirkwood imported wine and other foodstuffs from the men of Lake Town. The wine at least came from Dorwinion. Lembas was a trail-food, not a staple. Mostly the Elves seem to have lived on meat they hunted themselves and woodland plants.
Lorien was cut off from everywhere but Imladris until after the War of the Ring, so they must have been fairly self-sufficient. Elves are good wth bows, so filling the tables probably wasn't very hard. Imladris had the advantage of regular visits fom Dúnedain, so they could probably get food from the green fields of Eriador, including Bree, but probably not the Shire, which remained largely ignorant of the Big Folk beyond the borders.
