    Jenn ... wow girly you sure did your research !!!!

    You have done wonderfully with this mythology challenge. Loki sure was a trickster .. wasn't he

    I went to read up a little on your God and found this quite funny

    " Loki had many run-ins with the dwarves, which he cheated at any opportunity until they stitched him up. Literally. They stitched his mouth shut, which kept him quiet for some time" .... lol

    Loved your rhyme ... and the flow was perfect.

    Great job on Mel's challenge Jenn ... this challenge left me sleepless many times and took me forever to write ... lol
    Great challenge ... took me out of my box for sure ... lol

    Jenn,

    I am so sorry how long this has taken me to get to comment and I want to say I think you did an excellent job on my mythology challange. I can tell you researced this topic thoroughly as it was so informative and everything was right from what I know.

    The rhyme of this poem was beautiful and really didn't falter what so ever all the way through. I loved the fact you actually took the time to go into so much detail and yet still write a beautifully flowing poem. Well done on that.

    To me Loki isn't easier to write about, he is indeed a trickster and I wouldn't be able to write a poem about him myself. It seems like you wrote it so easily and I'm really proud for you of that.

    Two stanzas were my favorite in this poem

    Jormugand was such a snake
    The world wrapped in his coil
    Biting on his bitter tail
    Of blood that came to boil

    This stanza above here I loved so much. Snakes are beautiful in my opinion and I love the fact you mention them. This stanza was venomous in my opinion. Really infectious. I enjoyed how it got stuck in my head because the rhyme was so crisp.

    Hel, she was the Queen of Death
    Her form stood black and white
    Roamer of the underworld
    Valhalla out of sight

    This stanza was also another favorite, you mentioned Valhalla and that really interested me. I love anything that mentions Valhalla it really seems like a beautiful place in mythology.

    Overall this poem was excellent. To me it had some really beautiful imagery and I enjoyed the read from start to finish. Well done.

    -Mel
