Thank you! And really, you thought of this too? That's so cool :) The idea came to me when I was rereading the start of the Odyssey and realised how well the Silm (and Maglor in particular being the tragic hero kind) would work with that form. I guess I could have made the poem longer but I'm far from being an expert... so maybe I would've ruined it. Who knows.
