SPACE WOLF EPIC POEM

[McDevin]

This is done in the Iambic Pantameter, with some alitteration much like the old anglo saxon, and norse epics. I thought that If a wolf priest was telling of old tales, this is how it would sound. This is the first part of my epic poem.

Don't worry this is only the first part of the poem, There will definitly be more action and violance in this poem than both the illiad and the odyssey combined. ;) Hope yoou like it

 

So, the sons of Russ

did drop from soaring

ships. Pummeling the

planets soft soil

with molten metal.

Like Bolters' bullets

they tore through the blood

red sky of the dawn

cutting through clouds made

gold by her lushious light.

 

It was a sight of

salvation, to the

Imperial guard,

proudly proving where

there loyalties lie.

With their long lasting

stand against the Chaos

hords harrowing

whilst their other more

cowardly comrads

had turned to Chaos

 

Like a lonely man :D

wandering through a

desert dry as bones,

Not knowing just how

much longer he can live.

but then he finds a

well of water

Filled with much relief

he sighs knowing his

safety is secured

 

So at the sight of

the savage spacewolves

the soldiers of the

imperial guard

sighed with such relief

 

Leading this large

warband of wolfish

warriors was the great

wolflord Wselfwulf (literally meaning "wolf warrior" in old english (anglo-saxon) a most apropriate name ;) )

terror of traitors

and feared by all foes

he was the mightiest

mortal of his time.

Donned in the armor

of runes and a helm

shaped like a wolfs head.

A frightening sight

for the eyes of the

enemies of man.

Adding to their fears

are the ferocious

fangs of his frost blade

always alive and

flaying flesh and bones.

And no matter how

hard his heathenous

foes try, they cannot

slay him. For a storm

shield guards this great man

sheltering him from ev-

en the worst of shells

 

Hope you liked the first part of this later on I'll be posting more and adding to this saga bit by bit

Here is one I made back in the day about when during the 13th crusade the Space Wolves and Dark Angels swore an oath of friendship:

 

Come, Young Pups and Grey Wolves alike,

And I will tell a tale of times to come.

Come, a tale of wolf and lion I speak,

And I will tell the future that I have seen.

 

When the evil eye waxed nigh,

And the Despoiler’s host did come.

When accompanying the Great Wolf I fought,

And the Evil Ones victory was naught.

 

With the Sons of the Lion we met,

The Wolf and Lion friends once more.

With a mighty oath they did repent,

The Wolf’s rage and the Lions anger.

 

There I meet one such as Me,

Known, as the Holder of Keys, was He.

There as the blood oath was sworn,

Saw, He and I, a time not yet past.

 

A great sword once again reforged,

And the lost wolves did come home.

The Lion awoke with a mighty Roar,

Answering alike a Wolf’s howl from times of yore.

 

Together, the Lion and the Wolf once more,

Never again to be separated by silly woes.

Great Axe and Sword did swipe,

The heads from Aliens and Damned alike.

 

This we saw and knew to come,

This, is the time of the Wolf and Lion Reborn.
