Sonnet #1

Aren't sonnet titles so creative?

This a sonnet I wrote in 8th grade. I can't decide if I like this one either. But it is about Lothlórien. 

Once in a forest full of trees of gold
An Elven city hid her lovely face;
In song and tale mentioned times untold
Her name was known in every town and place.
Those who lived there dwelt among the trees
In lovely houses far above the ground;
Their harps they tuned to match the gentle breeze:
Their voices had a dreamy lilting sound.
They feasted every day and every night;
Were skilled with both the sword and with the bow,
Their festivals were quite an awesome sight:
Never did an Elven head hang low.
	But to this land, this fair Lothlorien
	'Tis said that none but elves had ever been.
