Today’s Haiku is about Trolls, we watched Troll Hunter last night, a Norwegian film about… Trolls. It’s a fast paced, comedy horror, there is beautiful scenery aplenty too, as you’d expect, from what is a stunning country. We decided we like Trolls, they get a bad press. But they are just following their instincts right? If they want to kill humans we shouldn’t judge them for it, it’s just what they were made for. We should run, like we’ve run for generations before.
Trolls are cool, Luke Pearson also wrote a graphic novel with a Troll in it, that is brilliant too. Hildafolk… I cannot recommend it enough. Another positive representation of Trolls is here, a little (free) short story by Yasmin. She and her creation, Glenda the Troll are both very talented!
As for Tolkein, I love you man, but you were mean to Trolls. Or at least Gandalf was anyway.
Beware of bridges,
Of blackened pines, caves and mines,
Hiding, biding time.
An artists impression (well, my impression) of a Troll. He stands three metres tall (about ten feet) and smells of rotten roast chicken. I saw him in the moors one moonlit night I think!

Catching up on your haikus this morning : )
I want to see Troll Hunter too, it's on my rental list. Glenda the Troll says thank you for the troll love. She'd be up for a date with your troll if he promises to leave the bone at home ; ) x
