Virgos and Valkyries

In years gone past, as thunder rode a stark and blackened sky
in Thor’s abode lived Valkyrie’s, women such as I.

Virtuous, valiant, shield maidens, brought victors on high 
Virgo’s, surely, sisters all, who ordered those who died.

Judges true of pure intent whose honor none belied
for all of life seeks order, if chaos would be denied.

An independent nature every Virgo’s does maintain
with thoughts of selfless causes and the shunning of acclaim.

With fire and fidelity your Virgo’s never tame
but, you can trust a Virgo’s, a Valkyrie all the same…

Excellent piece. Wonderful imagery as I saw the Valkyries riding across the sky seeking out the heros from the battle field to take them to Viking Heaven. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

ALL RIGHT!!! VIrgos reign. Gosh, I did not even know you were a Virgo like me. It must have been in the back of my mind and I had forgotten it. I think also Charlotte is one! And Tahera too. So is this yet another contest on zodiac??? Gotta go check it out. I really enjoyed seeing this one, Deb.

Great entry, Debbie. I changed the 14th line of my poem Buster. It had worried me but I had let it go. Is there another place that needs tweaking? Thanks, Joyce
