POTIONT QUATRO
raw
chaffed
burnt by the idol suns
the Hulls sucked waves

blood swam

hoarded
neath brilliant sails
and row away
from smouldering
cursed village
a sign too those
of what may
return
what will come
too be
of Odin Freya
and Loki!

Norse Mythology
Vikings are the Norse. Mythology may reflect the real things Vikings did. Due to my knowledge deficiency, I consulted Wikipedia. Pardon me for cheating. But, we do have modern Vikings these days. It reads good. I learn something new.

One of...
my favorite books when I was in my twenties, was a book by the name of Bullfinch's Mythology. I picked up at a garage-sale for 2-3 dollars. It was full of Norse Mythology and had all the classic heroes like Thor and Odin, Loki and mythic beasts such as dragons and Grendel. I wish I had that book now, [it's worth much more than I paid for it then,] and it's something I could read again and again. Nice tale of a Norse raiding-party! Thanks, ~ Gee.

ambition...
and he suffered....But what a story!
blighty scabs of mans history..
some fall healed
and others tell a tale
of exposure and the scrapes
like markings of fate
words be like thus
expunged for a vernacular
veneration
or vex
thank U!
