As we did for the Robert Frost's 'Stopping By Woods' poem, here's another challenge to post. I just used this poem for this week's Times Ten and figured it might make for some interesting responses here.
Once again, using Tolkien's poem below, create your own using the same end words and format as his. If you'd like, try an alternate format too and post it here as well.
The words are: think, seen, butterflies, been / gossamer, were, sun, hair / think, be, spring, see / things, seen, spring, green / think, ago, world, know / think, before, feet, door.
Good luck!

QUOTE
I Sit and Think
I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.
