Monarch Mind's Worth

Fourteenth day of this year’s National Poetry Writing Month. Today’s optional prompt for today is to write a poem that contains at least one kenning. Kennings were metaphorical phrases developed in Nordic sagas. At their simplest, they generally consist of two nouns joined together, which imaginatively describe or name a third thing. The phrase “whale road,” for example, could be used instead of “sea” or “ocean,” and “sky candle” could be used for “sun.” The kennings used in Nordic sagas eventually got so complex that you basically needed a decoder-ring to figure them out. And Vikings being Vikings, there tended to be an awful lot of kennings for swords, warriors, ships, and gold. But at their best, they are surprising and evocative.

I am participating in A to Z Challenge 2014 where we write 26 posts in a month each day on one word from A to Z barring Sunday's. Today's word is "M".

He was a book worm

Always immersed either in some

Or atleast a one

From pencil pusher

To a bean counter

With aplomb

He had handled either

He always was a go getter

Destined to make it bigger

He was once told

Be a mind reader

He lands up in a hot potato

First lady was his wife called

He was now a saito
