"vidar" poems - Hello Poetry

Loudly it sounded, The horns message clear, The gods had been warned, The giants were near. From Jotunheim to Midgard To Asgard they came, Their intent was clear, Their purpose the same. Loudly they shouted, They yelled, and they raged, The gods and the giants Were battle engaged. Thor with his hammer and Vidar with shoe, One would think battle Was all that they knew. Tyr with one hand And Frey with no sword, They should have stayed back, But of their own accord Into battle they leapt, Into battle they ran, Against the giants To make their stand. The moon and the sun, Luna and Sol, Went into the bellies of Hati and Skoll. Tidal waves crashed all over the world, Out of the oceans came The serpent of Midgard. Thor ran at the beast, The great Fenrir Wolf, But he was soon In snakes coils engulfed. Thor pounded away, He hammered the snake, But he did no damage, No dent did he make. The great Fenrir Wolf Rushed at Odin, The god stabbed with his spear, But the great wolf did win. Vidar rushed at the beast With his big heavy shoe, Kicked in the jaw, The Fenrir Wolf flew Away from the battle, away from the fray, In the depths of space The Fenrir Wolf stays. The gods and the giants, The battle they fought, And in the end it was all for naught. They destroyed each other, Each and every one, And out of the darkness Came a new sun. In the sun’s warmth, A great green was spread, The great land had died, And was back from the dead. Two gods were left, The young sons of Thor, They were spared because they were good and pure. The gods met with two humans Who had lived through the strife, And together they planned a new and better life. And for this reason, The Norse people say, The gods stay in Asgard To this very day. But if in the future The giants attack, The gods will come to Midgard, And they will attack.

The Battle at Midgard

Loudly it sounded, The horns message clear, The gods had been warned, The giants were near. From Jotunheim to Midgard To Asgard they came, Their intent was clear, Their purpose the same. Loudly they shouted, They yelled, and they raged, The gods and the giants Were battle engaged. Thor with his hammer and Vidar with shoe, One would think battle Was all that they knew. Tyr with one hand And Frey with no sword, They should have stayed back, But of their own accord Into battle they leapt, Into battle they ran, Against the giants To make their stand. The moon and the sun, Luna and Sol, Went into the bellies of Hati and Skoll. Tidal waves crashed all over the world, Out of the oceans came The serpent of Midgard. Thor ran at the beast, The great Fenrir Wolf, But he was soon In snakes coils engulfed. Thor pounded away, He hammered the snake, But he did no damage, No dent did he make. The great Fenrir Wolf Rushed at Odin, The god stabbed with his spear, But the great wolf did win. Vidar rushed at the beast With his big heavy shoe, Kicked in the jaw, The Fenrir Wolf flew Away from the battle, away from the fray, In the depths of space The Fenrir Wolf stays. The gods and the giants, The battle they fought, And in the end it was all for naught. They destroyed each other, Each and every one, And out of the darkness Came a new sun. In the sun’s warmth, A great green was spread, The great land had died, And was back from the dead. Two gods were left, The young sons of Thor, They were spared because they were good and pure. The gods met with two humans Who had lived through the strife, And together they planned a new and better life. And for this reason, The Norse people say, The gods stay in Asgard To this very day. But if in the future The giants attack, The gods will come to Midgard, And they will attack.
