Because it is Poetry Month, I'm posting here an old poem in honor of an ancient poet who is said to the be the author of the Edda Measures, ancient Nordic books of poetry and "how to write poety" He has the best name ever.....
Skald
The ancient pages postulate a skald
who wrote his words with magic.
Of legends, gods and gold, he told
with tongue and tambour ringing.
His valiant verse, a varied tome,
the married meter uttered.
Of Snorri Snurluson, they sing, author. . .
of the Edda Measures.
