Petr Florianek Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hello Gentlemen I wanted to share collaborative effort i had and have with Myles Mulkey. It is forgewelded poetry with bladesmithing, the marriage of material and spiritual aspect of our craft. we settled that to some pieces i make, Myles would compose poetry in very old Norse style (which name is impossible to write if you are not Myles) here is waht Myles had written about it on his blog http://mylesmulkey.blogspot.cz/2012/09/eddaic-epicness.html and here are the poems together with the pieces GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The two go well together. Is Myles trying for a Fiery Tongue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Florianek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 he should earn something like that swordtongue, or fiery tongue GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Mulkey Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Haha I'll keep my tongue and burn my beard further down the road. This is very exciting for me, as I'm not only a fledgling poet, but also a fledgling smith. Just a small part of this community. This is a great chance to help tie two threads of ancient artistry together, and I'm just honored to have been given the opportunity.

John Page Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Warrior poets if ever there were some It's fascinating how two things totally different could be so complimentary of each other, and yet not be so different at all.

Petr Florianek Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hello! its hard to describe how much i enjoy this project! its surely the begining. One more poem was written but it must remain hidden together with the dagger it was describing.

Luke Shearer Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That last one is particularly inspiring. Having just re-read Beowulf, this sounds like it could have been penned by the same hand. The feeling and aesthetic behind the words and steel are dead-on. Thanks so much, guys! “Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Mulkey Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Guys thank you for the kind words. The poems are just small details, tiny additions to Petr's amazing work.
