From the Lonely Mountain, Thorin came,
To reclaim his gold and earn his fame,
The Dwarven king, bold and brave,
With his kin, their land to save.

But battles brew, and armies rise,
The clash of swords, the battle cries,
Goblins, Wargs, and Men unite,
To take the gold with all their might.

Thorin fought with all his heart,
Leading his army from the start,
The clash of steel, the pounding beat,
His bravery would not be beat.

The battle raged for days and nights,
With arrows flying, and sword fights,
The Dwarves stood strong, their spirits high,
Determined not to let their foes get by.

But Thorin's fate was sealed in stone,
His greed had left him all alone,
As he fought with Azog, the Pale,
His end was near, he could not prevail.

In his last moments, he looked around,
At his kin, with sorrow profound,
He had won the battle, but lost his heart,
For his greed had torn them all apart.

And as his life slipped away,
His kin knew he'd led them to this day,
And though they mourned his loss that night,
They knew his legacy would shine bright.

For Thorin Oakenshield, the Dwarven king,
Had fought with honor, and everything,
And though he'd paid the ultimate cost,
His bravery would never be lost.<|im_end|>

In days of yore, a man was born,
Whose tales of wonder would adorn,
The pages of the books we hold,
And stories that will never grow old.

From hobbits small, to dragons vast,
His words did weave a spell to last.
A world of magic he did create,
With characters that captivate.

In Middle-earth, his story lay,
And readers traveled far away.
From the Shire to Mount Doom's peak,
The journey long, but never bleak.

The Ring of Power, a dangerous thing,
A tale that makes our hearts take wing.
The Fellowship, a brave brigade,
Whose bond of friendship will never fade.

But it was not just stories he wrote,
For languages, he also spoke.
Elvish tongues and Dwarven script,
His passion for words, he did equip.

A scholar true, he studied hard,
And through his work, his fame did start.
From Oxford halls, his name did spread,
To readers far, and to writers bred.

His impact great, his legacy vast,
For Tolkien's tales will always last.
A master of words, a bard supreme,
In tales of old, his name will gleam.<|im_end|>

Awesome, thank you. Is there a deeper meaning of his poem? Could you also rewrite it such that it's a slant rhyme instead?<|im_end|>

The poem appears to be a tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien and his creation of the world of Middle-earth. It highlights Tolkien's ability to create an entire mythology and inspire the imagination of many people. The poem also emphasizes the themes of sacrifice and valor that are present in Tolkien's works. The use of the phrase "immortals walk among us yet" at the end of the poem suggests that the characters and stories created by Tolkien continue to have a significant impact on people today, even after his death.

Here is a possible rewrite of the poem using slant rhyme:

In dreams, when the moon silvered the night sky,
Tolkien strayed through elven lore to spy.
The Idlewild lay open to his eye,
Paths unmapped, yet waiting to try.
From these quests epics vast he wrought,
Lyrics and legends in tongues of thought.
Of valor in the face of Mordor's rot,
And sacrifice more precious than aught.
His myth-born mythology hath brought,
In every heart eager thoughts have caught.
Of peace restored at battles fought,
Through the words of the Bard, immortals sought.<|im_end|>
