Soar like an eagle? Sail like a Viking?
Buy coke, and you will be all the three in one!
As summer lasts, you will have fun!...

O, Viking Gods of the Norse
you governed the mighty seas
your boats were built of gopher wood
and you made wise use of a breeze!

Shegaurd wakes from her coma
afloat in a Viking pyre craft
too far away to be seen by the mourners
she dreads the flaming arrows
hoping the archer’s aim will not be true...

The battle rages, tree branch swords
cardboard boats on Viking Fjords
victory within our grasp
mother calling “time for your nap”

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.

going for the first time they hadn't a clue
the addendum read
and actually said

Alas, my friends! My dreams was not fulfil.
And now, watching the Hollywood's sex scandal, 
I dream  to start produce a Feature film!...

My jowls are large
They make me look glum

Asked an inquisitive cat

What do you think of that?...

There was once a sane Santa, a Viking 
Reindeer driving his sleigh were all sickling 
His ride went helter-skelter 
Two broke their love-locked antler 
Why he donned those as horns he’d no inkling.

You should see the Vikings fan at Christmas I was told!
The crazy guy they pointed out was wearing horns of gold.
On each horn this October was perched a jack-o-lantern too.
I wondered if on the 4th of July he wears red, white and blue....

Two days in,
Me and you,
Hard celtic
Strays betray
No truth, stone,
shrine or statue,
Viking hearts and
Weathered youth,
Healing green eyes,
How i love you.

Your streets lure me
Like arteries to heart,
Through our Troubles,
Together, home....

Limerick : Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking

Once a shocking Norseman crowned Viking
Took his flaxen men on an ice outing
They lusted for fat Finns
Knocked walrus and dolphins
Why Arctic now with Vi-wal-phins seething.

BURIAL AT SEA

A poem by Jina Mahalatinia

I witnessed Mama's body
As Angels worked her flesh
Preparing her for death.
And when her flesh was pieces
She was scared of being eaten
(Remembering Viking spears
That killed, not ate, those fish)
So I cried to soothe her fears....

There was once a Santa Claus, a Viking
Reindeer driving his sleigh were all sickling
His ride went helter-skelter
Two broke their love-locked antler
Why he donned these as horns he’d no inkling.

I've fallen for the chemistry
and the way you lean yourself to me so natural.
Your lemon scented genius hands
are filled with smoke from foreign lands
the kindest eyes from where I stand in limbo.
You've given me an instant friend
a love which starts before it ends
You've washed me and I'm young again.
My Viking....

There was a gallant Santa, a Viking 
Reindeer driving his sleigh started limping
They got stuck in stack of snow 
How his horns broke he didn’t know 
He dozed off after a bout of drinking.

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 years at peace....

Viking, Viking burning bright,
on a pyre in the night,
though the wind howls and bites,
this funeral is out-of-sight!

Through the cold and falling snow,
on the lake your fire glows,
the ships combusts, and now I know
this here is how I want to go.



*-Obviously patterned off William Blake's famous poem 'The Tyger.'...
