YAS!
I started this one with the picture prompts earlier today…
We Are Called to the Vale
(a warrior’s song for Onweald)
By Sandy Lender
When burning fog of dragon’s breath
swirls in the Vale’s pale morn
take up your sword and shield, my lad.
To the Vale, to war!
When reach your village the stench
of man-flesh burnt and torn
take up your sword and shield, my man.
To the Vale, to war!
When farrier sees the burning rise
and drops his tongs and forge
take up your sword and shield, old man.
To the Vale, to war!
When the goddess’ horn fills the air
a harbinger of news forlorn
take up your sword and shield, all men.
To the Vale, to war!
This is AMAZING!! Love all the evocative images, smells, sounds.
Nice one. In fact, very, very nice one.
