June 26 - Valkyrie
I went out fighting
but Valkyries passed me by.
No Valhalla for me
though I lie embraced
with sword in my adversary's guts.
Ah you’d make it, Odin loved a good poet🖤
How do you choose which
Of us is deserving when
We were made to fight?
Curiously enough, being a good poet was a crucial part of being a worthy warrior in Old Norse culture. You can fight, but can you verse?
You can fight, but can you verse?
Is there a meter to your curse?
You may cut as man of action
But do you thrust with lethal scansion?
You are definitely getting into Valhalla with that one😎
'Xactly, it's all about who you know, not who you kill
They play a prominent role in Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle, inspiring one of its most famous instrumental parts.
And the Ring Cycle was inspired by the Saga of the Volsungs, which is a fantastic read.
Wagner’s Ring Cycle was? I didn’t know that, that’s cool!
Very cool, I’d love to visit Germany.
Wings of twilight dark,
A warrior's call echoes—
Silent skies tremble.
Valkyrie descends,
Whispers of fallen heroes,
Midnight wind carries.
In frost and fire,
Battle's breath and shadow's sigh,
She reaps silent souls.
Amazing! I think the third is my fave, that middle line is so beautiful🖤
Valiant slain warrior woman and men
Lift heads up to the stars
Valhalla’s bar is now open for business.
Ah, Heiðrún, well researched🖤
Chooser of the slain,
The cold wind blows over me.
Valhalla awaits.
Ah very nice! I love the middle line, what a great detail🖤
Odin's attendants,
Light the way to Valhalla,
Guiding the brave home... 😎
Well done! Such an epic feel and great imagery🖤
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it... 😎
Awesome topic!
