Lords and Ladies, gathered are we,
listen well as we remember,
favored few who left the field then,
fell the valiant with their king.
Tosti's earlship taken,
travels he to Flanders,
seeks the aid of Swein for,
salvaging a kings-seat,
Councils now Canutes-son,
kinsman be my jarl here,
Brow-moons rise up boldly,
but he takes not Danes-land!
Strive men strong now,mighty heroes,
sure your sword-arm saves the day,
Harald sits his high-seat,
hails the son of Gudine,
Tostis-tale finds lodging,
tantalize gold-giver,
meetings many make they,
merry plans a-borning,
Raised-the-red-Shield, Hard-rede,
ready now the sea-steeds,
Strive men strong now,mi
Tearing threads of heart-strings,
thoughts now sadly quiet,
Hear the hosts of wood-lands,
hastening to burrows,
eyes see, ears hear, running,
echoes alpha pack-mates
Wolf-lord wryly seeking,
whispers of the Huntress,
Only owls are knowing,
of the coming battle,
loss of love yet echoes,
let the pairing finish,
feel all fetters broken,
faithful is the Huntress!
Dark the dreaded Norns-fate,
daring Loki smiling,
But the bold gold-giver,
bades the fighters listen,
Scheming are sad foemen
seeking Lokis favor
wise the weapon-brothers,
waiting is All-Father,
Thorn-lords tasteing Yggs-brew
Golden gleams the Crown-list,
Gullveig smiling softly,
fighting fair is sought now,
feel the pride of Lutr,
Gathered grinning thorn-lords,
goodly speech is given,
two the regal kindred,
treasured now their strong heirs!
Witch-cold waves of icey thunder,
watch the mortal, see him blunder,
armor stripped and rusted, broken,
Aesirs-heart gives him a token,
Valkyrie lingers, vault of night,
values heart-song, brave mans plight,
Echoes Odins eager daughters,
end of journey, feed the slaughtered
Hello to the Loner, passing by...
Ive posted my first entry into dA...literature, not a painting, etc. People, I call them friends,'cos they added my poem to their collections...Thank You..and good comments were made, always can lead to new dA's. Im also seeing artists that make me want to 'do' Art. A photographer in France that seems to have captured the essence of what the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists saw.
Artists in the Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, the Baltic lands, Russia, S. Africa and more. Their media is different, subject matter diverse, enthusiasm...'priceless'. This is part of what I am seeking here..."INSPIRATI
Silence slays the word-cave banter,
soon the ear-caves welcome skalds-brew,
Weave I now a way of learning,
welcome may you find in Yggs-mead,
Learn the lore of Norsemen,
lays of mighty heroes,
sailing south in longships,
sorely grieve the Southrons,
fierce the blazing farmstead,
Franks-land merry blazing,
raiders wearing ring-shirts,
rich the booty carried,
Strong the Sons of Odin,
slaying in ring-byrnies,
Swirling clouds the storms are,
stream they now from Lands-end,
Mjollnirs-master sends them,
marching over Midgard
Walk the whale-road Kinsmen,
winds now greet Jords-son,
feel the fury Stone-whales,
fighting Thor now swiftly,

SHORES...Standing on a sandy
SHORES...
Standing on a sandy shore,
far from the race of Man,
Witnessing a coming Age,
in its eternal plan,
Man is growing by leaps,
and bounds,
Hunting with the Knowledge hounds,
'til He comes to sandy shores,
far from the race of Man
