Best Vikings Poems


Premium Member The Vikings Dream, a Northland Story
Waves crash with word from Scotland
Warblers answer with yawning skies

Rocks washed up from last night's storm
Blaspheme glory, fought for Rome

Pushcarts filled with bravery tell
Of battles waged, regret for sale

Winter scoured laws they passed
Before the titles pressed in clay

Gulls enjoyed a calm sea float
While Ravens spoke...

Valhalla - Vikings' Paradise : Mythology
In Asgard, kingdom of the mighty God Odin
A place awaits all battle fallen warrior heroes
It's in Valhalla where there is endless feasting
And an ending of all griefs and sorrows

The Valkyries, Odin's warrior daughters
Carry the fallen heroes from the battlefield 
To Valhalla to join other fallen...

When Thor’s mighty hammer sounds a thunderous call,
this football team is willing to do it all.
They are ready to plunder and pillage opposing teams.
The Vikings are reality, not merely dreams.

They have played well before the overwhelming cheers.
Success has come easily throughout their playing years.
When the...

Premium Member Valhalla-The Vikings-Part 1
In the bay of icy mists, the viking ghost ships arrive, sails set full ahead,
Crashing anchors rattle loose, plunging beneath the cold murky surf,
As the hailing horns of the dead, announce to their lord, Odin, that
Valor's courageous have arrived, and wish to enter, the great...

Premium Member The Vikings
Harsh winds blow from a baron frozen land,
Of ice and snow.
Exhaling Nordic gods breath a chilling mist
An eerie foggy vapor creeping along the
 Waters aquatic edge.
Rages angry seas lap against the wooden
Hauls as battle harden men brace for impact
Waves crack tarring asunder splinters oaken shell.
Yet...

Vikings and Islam
Vikings and Islam 
Way back in the 7 hundred or something when 
Islam leaders tried to establish a Caliphate in 
Europe, they met Vikings who were plundering 
their way down the river of Volga and often 
employed the barbaric Norsemen to do a bit of
plundering...

The Vikings were a race of men
That conquered many lands
They fought their wars with might and main
And power in their hands
They sailed the sea in dragon ships
Explored and conquered well
But now their greatness lies beneath
The rolling ocean swell...

VIKINGS

Erik  went east  to Yamal peninsula’s spring  
For Russian hides and terrifying antlers
From the world’s biggest  reindeer herd,
In April  crossing the thawing  Ob River, 
Safe from predators :  good hunting  
And  fully  laden longboats. ...

Premium Member The Vikings Have Arrived Again
They are expert mariners and fearless too
They hail from a foreign land, across the blue.
Norway and Iceland had met these men before.
They were watching wearily as their knars hit the shore.

They prefer to hug the coastline, a keen observer said.
His comrade was horrified, he was...

I Fear This May Be Curse, That Dead Vikings Sing

Who believes it will come one fine-bred day
Not a beautiful queen but a beauty
A doll, a great dame, one with newborn hope
Could she be a princess that fled away?
His heart and soul said yes she surely...

Premium Member Viking Sword
Blacksmith's massive hands
delivering powerful hammer blows,
beating glowing red steel 
into submission.
Sparks illuminating
magnificent artistry.
Fiercely wielded
in the name of Odin.
Tales heralded it's glory.
Unearthed, virtually unscathed.                                         
Instrument of death,
1,200...

After berserkers violated, nonviolent, virtuous, souls
residing in Ireland's verdant vales, 
victims vented their intense disliking of the vile, vicious,

Hans had been raised to believe you protect your woman at all costs
His father was a warrior king, and instilled this in him since his first dawn. 
Today his ideals were hidden, squirreled away, possibly even a bit lost 
As his wife-to-be jumped into the...
