The Nordic Tribe
There is a movement of Scandinavians
going to the South of Europe, they have their church,
cafes and shops selling the type of food sold in
the North. The Spaniards, say, accept and ignore them
because these strange northerners came here for
The sun does not take anyone’s work.
You can call the economic refugees; it is cheaper here

Valhalla's Call

He walks alone, a shadow cast  
By memories too fierce to last,  
A warrior once, now lost, betrayed—  
By time, by fate, by war's parade.  
His brothers, bold, now rest below,  
Their blood, their courage, still they glow,  
In Valhalla’s hall, where feast and song  
Echo the names

Please know that there are people out there sending well wishes to you.

Some people will have lived through your pain, your anguish and fears. 
These people will look into your eyes and send you their strength to help combat your tears.

Though you feel all alone how can that be true?
When strangers

night of auroras
 swirling fiery spirals spin
  snow buntings call soft

  silver solitude

Lyric Tribute To Anzu Furukawa

Lyriktribute to Anzu Furukawa 
AURORA BOREALIS (Satis Shroff)

The sky was bathed
In fantastic hues:
Yellow, orange, scarlet
Mauve and cobalt blue.
Buto dancing,
In this surreal light,
On the stage,
Was magnificent.
Your heart pounds higher,
Your feet become light,
Your body sways
To the rhythm
And Nordic lights
Of the Aurora borealis.
Akin to the creation
Of the planet we live in.
And here was I,
Anzu Furukawa.
Once a small ballet

The Nordic Pyramid

The Nordic Pyramid

Up north, where I was born
there is a mountain in the shape of a pyramid 
of course, it is much bigger
dwarfing the Egyptian´ones.
It is snow-capped looks desolate
but every year I have noticed the snow crown 
is getting smaller 
now it is the size of a French beret.
Soon the snow will disappear and
the mountain

My Nordic Christmas Story

I bought boots for Christmas to tread the icy plains.
I bought toys for Christmas with Santas in my trains.
I lit my home for Christmas with a Cedar bright.
I made cup cakes for Christmas for my love's delight.
I bought Jane a dress for Christmas with ribbons pink.
I bought for my grandma a cozy Christmas mink.
I bought

Ran's Nets

Rans nets, which bind and trap.
Ensnare and incapacitate all who swim in the oceans of life
I tangle thy golden skeins.
Your pearlescent webs that move in the voids between the 9 dimensions.
Your webs of final fate that float and dance between the worlds.
Ensnaring everybody in the 9 planes and all existences
may your golden Webs ensnare the

Sigyn's Wedding Day:Dedicated To Tina Eidam

I remember the day well though long has it been
Tied to the cold stone slab as I am
Buried in a cave made of sand
On a vanishing isle of heather
The memory hastens me back to happier times of mead, 
Food and of wedding bells chimes:
Her plain face flushed with joy and triumph
Flowing locks wrapped in flowers

Lament

Brooding days,
     Vanquished in the unconnected gloom,
            Shower frost,
Standing watch at dawn to pierce the morning
With an artic tempest,
Swirling ‘cross a land lost in forgetfulness:
            Sighing
Beneath borderless views of

NORDIC ECSTASY

You asked me a question, a nostalgic one
Where I was in the seventies
I was in the land of the midnight sun
With the descendants of the Vikings.

Looking at Norwegian rocks, their structure
Along the corrugated coast of the North Sea
I found myself on the lap of pristine nature
As beautiful on earth as it could ever be.

The

Nordic Queen

Blond Nordic queen whom I would die for; care
not my pulse beats fast ever wanting thee?
Or care desire is more than I can bear
when by chance you at times walk close to me?
Blue eyes that make both knees to shake in hope
that smile from thy angelic face might show.
Perhaps, words may pass; I can’t rightly

The Nordic Spring Is In Full Bloom

The small orioles from Tennessee have
migrated North, their yellow breasts
match the bright daffodils in the grove,
in the meadows, or in the plain's vastness.

It's very late April and the Nordic spring is
in full bloom today; there's little to envy,
although the deep South has more beauty
and warmth than of all New York springs.

Cherry and apple trees show

The Nordic Avalanche Queen

ODE TO THE AVALANCHE QUEEN

Brisk Arctic morning --
Where the giants gods rule
Nordic Dawn Queen ( clad in her fragile ice apparel) 
Twirls and rumbles through the ragged mountains
Seeking the object of her wrath and her affection.

Graceful in bold glory she strides
Mountain top to Mountain top--
Grinding bites of granite in lieu of breakfast
Imagining a Reckoning with
