There once was a young man named Ken
Who swallowed a set of encyclopaedias;
His mother said, "Ken!
What have you done?
They were for supper!"

I like it. I like the feel of simplicity and innocence it suggests. And its child-like intensity and seriousness.
We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain. (Roberto Bolaño)

this poem is a much more thoughtful ode to LTROI than my let the right one in bumper sticker. p.s. i don't actually own a LTROI bumper sticker.

Thought I would bump this endearing little poem for any new members who might not have seen it. :)

Thanks for the bump. a_c_l. The poem captures the simplicity of feelings that I love about the film. Very childlike and innocent.

I really like the poem. But I get the feeling you haven't read a lot of poetry, but that doesn't matter. It's still good, and long, it seems you must have used a lot of time on them all.

I wish if you do write more that you bring something more that is a bit less obious. Like, describing something without writing them out directly?

I can't say I am an expert, but I have tried to write a few LTROI inspired poems, and they are hard.

Well, I didn't write the poem, and awaw hasn't been here for 6 years so I think it's unlikely that your suggestion will be taken. I personally enjoy the poem because I find its child-like simplicity charming.
