I thought it would be fun to do another lyrical photo shoot, but with one of my Lord of the Rings dolls, Legolas. Though I doubt his name will be Legolas given, that I already have a doll with that name. So if you have any name suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway onto the photoshoot:
Many adventures were sought,
But all they did was bring wrought,
Who would want to join such an expedition?
It doesn't even seem like a favorable mission,
monsters are about,
And with a sword, out of fear, you will act out,
So why instead can't I live a country life?
Instead of running at a monster with a knife?
Why can't I be a gardener instead of an archer?
A shovel I'd rather yield,
Then a sword,
The pen is mightier than the sword but they don't even give me a word,
So instead of fighting a war,
I'll do the thing that is considered a chore,
nurture the nature,
Which with hope I'd capture,
I'll be a hero to the birds,
They'll listen to my honeyed words,
I'll be a hero to the plants,
And I'll give nature a chance,
I'll be a hero but not in battle.

What people in our world do you think are heroes, but not in the way one would be stereotypically considered a hero?

If you'd like an appropriately literary name for your 'reluctant hero', what about Tristran Thorn from the Neil Gaiman novel Stardust, or Westley from The Princess Bride? Or maybe Lir, the prince from the Peter S. Beagle book The Last Unicorn? There are plenty of other literary sources to draw from, but I thought this might help give you some ideas.

Thank you so much for the name suggestions. :D I like the idea of using a name from literature.
