Haiku: Odin's Paradise

Source

Odin's paradise
Over heather bathed heathland
Orkney spirits call

Valhalla's wreathed gates
Past violet heath wasteland
Honored souls received


 Revisit legends
Fabled Berserker prowess
Warrior, Lover

Wild eyed wolf brother 

Defeating fire and iron
Odin's chosen few

I heart lore of old

Tales of ancestral heathland
Odin's paradise



Carpe Diem #103, Heath (provided by Bjorn Brudberg)
