Well I'm bringing this back to this side of the plaza because the humor of this poem makes me laugh (us white people always putting raisins where they don't belong Looks at the potato salad suspiciously

There are raisins everywhere
White culture for you.

Cool down, eventide
A single, brittle leaf falls
beside the bluejay
The world was fair in Durin's Day

Sunshine on my face
through the glass of the window
Outside the wind blows

The wind sounds angry
It tries very hard to chase
all the clouds away

a lover of warm sunshine
been cursed with snow

bringing flakes of misery
lots and lots of them

I actually
remembered my login
that's a first for me

I want to put an accent over the -ed in remembered but I don't know how to do it with this code. I used to know how to do umlauts but I'm not sure I ever figured out the accent stuff.

Walking down the path
Frogs sing songs at rising sun
With the birds around.
Just call me Aiks or Aikári. Notify is off.
Find me stuff in Gondolin.
And let us embark to Valinor!
