And now for my first poem posting on this blog. It’s written in the fornyrðislag meter.

Here, I shall briefly describe the two main poetic meters I am using. In the foreseeable future, it is likely that every poem I post here will be in one of these two meters.
Wassail! Welcome to my blog. It’s now officially launched. I’m Eirik Westcoat, and I write poetry in alliterative styles based on traditional Old Norse and Old English poetic meters. I am also a follower of Asatru. Most of my poetry is about topics from Old Norse mythology and/or is usable in ritual contexts of the modern religion.
On this blog, I will be posting some of my poems, and writing about traditional alliterative poetry.
You can also follow me on Twitter, <@EirikWestcoat>, where I will tweet to announce updates to this blog. I may also tweet short poems there among other things.
