I wanted to credit Tar Elenion for quoting "The Song of Aelfwine" in another thread which got me to analyzing the fourteen-line sonnet format (for the most part) employed in that poem: ababababcdcdcd.

Some Wanderers ARE Truly Lost

The proto-Hobbits wandered far
"None go off-trail! None left behind!"
(except the ones who do and are).
Creations of a muddled mind,

"How near rock bottom set the bar?"
"Script-writers' knickers in a bind?"
The female Frodo, female Sam;
the NAZGIRLS, wraiths without their rings;
befuddled Starman, "Who I am?";
red-herring Sauron/Gandalf things.
Eight episodes of TV spam
to which a rancid odor clings.
