[QUOTE="Tsillanabor, post: 3032083, member: 40432"] I'm attempting to write the next chapter of my Chronicles of Essenon in a faux epic style. What I would like to do (since it is a lot of work making each line 12 syllables) is to find out if it is a readable style or if I should just continue in regular prose. The Saga of Brock Magnusson Listen! For I speak of Brock, last son of Magnus That great lord who slew other kings, enslaved their sons, Made their warriors tremble, and made them pay tribute. Who built his mighty hall at the Mount of Geatmon. By his own hand was it built, a mighty fortress. Take heed as I tell of the fall of great Magnus- The Son of Ymir Snorgat feared Magnus’ growing might, Swiftly gathered his horde together and attacked. Mighty Sons of Ymir, more powerful than ten men, Dimwitted ogres, fearsome winter wolves, foul trolls All gathered together to attack Magnus’ Hall. The great king sent messengers, as swift as Sleipnir, To the nine princes pledged to send him assistance. O treacherous ones! Your livers were weak that day! Like weak women you wailed and remained by your hearths. Your names are known and by Thor vengeance shall be sought. [/QUOTE]
