Margaret Franceschini Poet Verse

All Things Norse

All Things Norse

The dark and dreary autumn skies
Illuminating moon amplifies
Shadowy figure arises 
Through the misty fog belies

Her falcon cloak wears a whirring sound
Absorbed by loves battleground 
Affliction blight of Niflheim
Embracing Freya’s willowy frame

This goddess walks through towering wheat, bittersweet
With grandeur attributes, beauty becomes deplete 
For about her neck clings Brisingamen of fire 
She knows the cost beloved husband was acquired

Odin’s ravens fly above divulge shiny blackened feathers
Hunting her walk upon the hills in steady measure
The moon sends its beams between darkened clouds
Reflecting her ebony ringlet hair abounds
 
Here in Folkvangr lives the field of host
Battle cries for mountainous ghosts 
Hnitborg holds the mead of poetry  
In mound of heights lives ancestry

And amber tears fill the alabaster jar
Until they reunite her to Odh

Poet Destroyer A July 28, 2014 at 7:24 PM Hi Margeret, I'm good when it comes to Metaphors. I'm amazed, how well the rhymes played out. The flow, was deep for a rhyme poem. And That's What I Like! This reminds me and has the touch of, Edgar A. Poe. Dark and enchanting, at the same time. Excellent work, The first four lines is my favorite... Linda
