Polaice

Polaice (Freyja)

her eyes the sunrise
the colour of northern green
queen of Viking dreams
brings tears of amber and gold
in fields where warriors lie.

I am not familiar with her, but just by reading your tanka, I am given a pretty good depiction of her and can imagine this strong, radiant beauty. I really like your description of her eyes...it was so nice to see your name in my inbox, Harry. How are you? I hope all is great with you and thank you for passing by....
