'neath Odin's tree the raven slept,
and to my passing eye,
Chronos himself, as on he crept
did seem to pass him by.

No breeze did stir those feathers black,
nor season seemed to mark
its passing on the raven's back,
in that near total dark.

Who knows how long the raven lay
'neath his old master's tree.
What sights were seen in ancient day,
by this black bird I see.

What battles fought, what heroes fierce,
what glorious feats of yore?
Perhaps he saw the valkyries
come flying to the war.

Hey all!  been awhile since I posted here....  The angry bard has been quite busy with school, which leaves me stifled for creativity.  this was written over a period of a month, if you can believe it.  one verse at a time.  it's nowhere near finished, and I don't know what I'm trying to say by writing it, but I thought I'd post it here and see some replies.  Comments welcome, please!

Thanks, EG.  I wish I could finish it, but I seem to go blank whenever I think about it.  maybe when I decide what it's going to say, I'll finish it and post it.
