Ringulf's Watch

Post by Fox »

A poem I wrote in honor of my buddy Ringulf's birthday.

Ringulf's Watch

A Mighty Dwarf,
He Stands Alone,
No Fire this Morn,
To Warm his Bones,

No Rest this Day,
No Food, no Friends,
For He stands Watch,
Until the Ends,

Of Sunna's Flame,
Beneath the West,
Do Disappear,
And Day has Blessed,

All Those Beneath,
As Night does fall,
And Mani's light,
Illumins All,

One Lone Dwarf,
Defends His Race,
Like Vestri Standing,
In His Place,

Solid, Proud,
Keen of Eye,
And of Ear,
And He would Die,

Before He Shirks,
His Duty's Call,
For Strong of Heart,
He Guards them All.

Wondeful poem and a most lucky dwarf to have such a friend as you! :)

Well done!

So mote it be! I agree wholeheartedly!
:mrgreen:
I am Ringulf the Dwarven Woodsman, I craft leather, wood, metal, and clay,
I throw axes, seaxes, and pointy sticks, And I fire my bow through the day.
Come be my ally, lift up your mead! We'll search out our foes and the Eagles we'll feed! :mrgreen:

I was challenged the other day by one of my Rangers to write a short poem concerning the Nature of Ringulf! well I felt this would be the most appropriate venue for it surrounded by the work of my good friend Fox!


I am Ringulf the Dwarven Ranger,
I craft leather, wood, metal and clay,

I throw axes, seaxes and pointy sticks, and I fire my bow through the day.

The bear is my brother, the wolf my friend, the fox is my comrade, the Raven my end.

I glide through the forest and surf on the waves, I hunt in the marshes and explore in the caves.

Come be my ally, lift up your meade,
we will harry the enemy and the Eagles we'll feed!
I am Ringulf the Dwarven Woodsman, I craft leather, wood, metal, and clay,
I throw axes, seaxes, and pointy sticks, And I fire my bow through the day.
Come be my ally, lift up your mead! We'll search out our foes and the Eagles we'll feed! :mrgreen:
