A brief explanation of Haiku
Haiku is a very old Japanese artform consisting of three lines that do not usually ryhme. The first line always has 5 sylables, the second 7, and the third 5.
The following Haiku describe the members of the Fellowship, (though not extensively since there are only three lines!) They are not in a particular order.
The Wizard, Gandalf
Powerful, mysterious
Protector of good
Aragorn, Strider
Dunedain Chieftain, Elfstone
Arwen holds his heart
Frodo, Ringbearer

The Ring grows heavy
Sam is loyal, kind
Hardworking, compasionate
True friend to Frodo
Loyal to the Mark
Merry, an ever hungry Hobbit

Pippin, the youngest
A guard of the Citadel
First naive, grows wise
Dwarf, strong and hearty
Fierce to enemies not friends
Gimli son of Gloin
An Elf, Legolas
Swift, skilled with bow and arrow

Son of Denethor
Boromir, Stewards’ heir

I hope that you too will try this art form it is enjoyable and can express emotion beautifully! These are not really what this form was meant for, but I did my best.
