Re: Your favorite poem and why
My favorite poem, because I wrote it. It's written in a Norse style of meter and alliteration. Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" was written in a similar style.
My Valkyrie
at my feet, what lies before me
submits without being conquered
fanning flames in want to quench them
in her fullness yet is sparking
still we dance upon the morrow
songs we've sung with many voices
chorus, forms both fond and friendly
verse, we write anew each evening
boldly brazen does she wander
'cross the span of my soul's shelter
little changed, her journey takes her
past receding ice of winter
into melted marrow waters
standing still awaiting raindrops
love's light falls upon us 'twineing
knots by no one hand untieing
fettered by my mortal being
Midgard ails for my arrival
flowing as I follow footsteps
of her green-eyed gaze of glory
past the loves-breath singing quicker
harkens unto my arrival
hurry now in haste to sentry
wounding that which I would succor
skalds of sighing now do beckon
waters steaming from the Kragger
smiling does she sing the chorus
as the dance is doomed to ending
in faith follows flows my offer
ending with a quiet murmur
once again we lie together
thankful of our blessed stillness
Gods above do grant the lovers
joy of of hearing Asgard's music
