Time


Skuld, with Frigg's command,
Poisons people, pierces day
To slay Verdandi,

Yet Urd records all my acts
To safeguard me from Skuld's hold

This sounds good. It would help if I knew anything about Norse mythology, though. (It is Norse, isn't it?)

Happy writing! ;)

Skuld, Verdandi, Urd (the Norns), and Frigg are goddesses from Norse Mythology. It would help if you read Norse Mythology; otherwise the allusions probably won't make since to you. For some reason, I like to use allusions.

I want to love it, I really do, because I love mythology. It just saddens me that I don't know as much on Norse. It flows well though so good job.

Keep it up.
