Random poetry

[AgentDrake]

Yeah, I know there are better poets than me on here, but I was tired, and so I wrote this. Given my current state, dunno if this even makes sense, but here it is:




Hugin and Munin

Hugin
One Raven flies from the North.
Swifter than the stream, he cries:
"I am the dancing dream,
The emissary of the Mind.
I stir hands to build halls;
To forge thrones and burn thorns.
My wisdom uncovers the unknown.
I am Hugin – I am Thought."

Munin
One Raven flew from the North.
Swifter than the stream, he dies.
And now speaks another bird,
Sitting beneath darkened boughs:
"I am the Shadow, all that remains.
The emissary of the Lost.
I build halls to stir hands;
To forge dreams and burn despair.
My wisdom is all that remembers.
I am Munin – I am Memory."



Okay, reading back through them, I'm pretty sure I must be too tired to write comprehensible poetry right now.
(I swear I'm not smoking anything! jk) Any thoughts? Is it even comprehensible?

[MR. Lurtzy]

They're lovely.

[AgentDrake]

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not there, Lurtzy.

[MR. Lurtzy]

Actually I wasn't. They're pretty good.

[DáinIronfoot]

Seconded. I was never any good at poetry and admire those that can compose it. Hats off to you, my friend.

[AgentDrake]

Well, thanks, but to be honest I don't really like that one. I dunno. I guess mostly because it wasn't anything at all like what I was going for. But then, we can't all be Beowulf-poets. Oh well.

A much shorter and slightly more... uh... gory one:
('Emerald fire' is supposed to refer to the Northern Lights, BTW.)

Valkyrie

Blades Flash,
Blood Flows;
Shields Clash,
Broken Bows;

Raven Feeds,
Battle-web Woven;
Slaughtered Steeds,
Helmets Cloven.

Burning Pyre,
Beneath Emerald Fire.




....I've been very slowly working on composing a rather long poem based on Three Kingdoms (That's Dynasty Warriors for you videogamers) but my own somewhat altered version of the story. Might eventually post some of that, because I need a LOT of constructive criticism on that one....
