Thor No More

Thor No More It’s understood that Thor is another Norse story With a masculine muscular man and warrior A mythical character, comic book figure Son of Odin, with his hammer, as their leader Not much more But wait a moment… Isn't Thor a man as stated? Modern times calls for a grander change and plan To blur the lines of male and female Thor is now a woman warrior “Thor Girl – called Tarine- super-heroine” (Heroin, a drug, sounds about right for this) Marvel, less than marvelous in pretending Invented this gender bending tool Wanting to serve some homophobic sex score Shouldn't it be Thor-ina or Thor-ette or Thora? Perhaps Thor should be a ballerina Oh Thora how we adore ya! Hammer in hand standing grand Breast spread proud across the clouds An open mind is what they scream and plead Reality tells us differently An open mind, like a lid, opened on a garbage bin Let’s in everything A discerning mind is what makes sense The rest is nonsense Sieve out the rest As for Thor I think of this no more It’s just a story

Hi again, I had no clue you are are not attending :) , just as I had no clue about a female Thor and the mistakes that was made around Thor himself. I haven't even heard about Marvel Comics. :) I might be a Scandinavian but have very little knowledge about Norse mythology. I think your poem is really good!

Hi Gry. Thanks again. I was watching Thor- (the new movie with the male Thor) on TV while I wrote the poem. It is a brilliant film with great actors and actresses. The special effects are amazing. The story of Thor is compelling. Have a great day. Earl

It's interesting to read about non Scandinavians take on our old mythology and our Norse gods. :) Best of luck in the contest!

Hi Gry. Thanks for commenting. Exactly for the reason you mentioned, I did not enter the Norse poetry contest. I know nothing about the subject. I wrote this poem because I read an article that Marvel Comics created a female Thor. They also made 8 major mistakes and misrepresentations about the original Thor Norse mythology. Thanks again for your interest. Earl
