I especially loved Smaug because dragons are awesome. I haven't seen the first movie, I haven't seen Lord of The Rings, and I haven't read any of the books, but I was so inspired that I just had to write a poem about Smaug. Although I will be watching the movies and reading all the books after this. I did some research to make sure I got things right so I hope someone likes it!","content":"\u003e Smaug the Magnificent  \n\u003e \n\u003e * * *\n\u003e   \n\u003e Who dares rouse the dragon?   \n\u003e The terrible drake who sleeps on beds of gold?  \n\u003e Who dares come close the mighty lord?  \n\u003e The dreadful beast who breath is molten flames?\u003e Who dares defy the king under the mountain?  \n\u003e Who is bold enough to steal from his hoard?\u003e Show yourself thief!  \n\u003e Come closer.
