The Woods Come

Dissatisfied,
the lore is re-written
and the story told anew.
 
After slow and careful deliberation
the decision is arrived at,
and with determined purpose
the Ents march towards Isengard
and their tree charge follow,
each measured and foliaged step
seeks in time to strive for recompense
for the unjust atrocity of uprooting trees,
for which a wizard should know better.
 
They march at last,
and the false character
is vanquished  
by the woods marching against them.

Apparently Tolkien was dissatisfied with Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', in that the Birnam Wood prophecy wasn't truly followed through with.
