Two verses for Haakonar saga eki

Here are two verses I have written for the Haakonar saga eiki.  They are written in kviðuháttr, the same meter as the Sonatorrek, which was written by Egil Skalgrimsson.

The first describes Boris kol-skeggr coming home from  a tavern:

gjögrað kol-skeggr

þremr skautum -

hlæja skipa ok

syngur stúlkna.

skella-hlægja

ok vísa hlóa

staggers black-beard

three-sheets -

they laugh of the ship 

and sing of girls.

He laughs at jokes

and verses bellows

In the second, Boris "addresses" the king, loudly and drunkenly, while standing in fromt of the king's great house:

"Konung heyrðu

slarkarí kol-skeggr -

frið-maðr máttkir

drótinn mildi.

óvinnar þinn

ék mun upp-ræta

sem blað-rauði

rô Þorrs rífa aptr"

King, hear 

drunkard black-beard

Might ally of

generous lord -

enemies thine

I will up-root

as the red-leaved

Thor´s yard-arm I tore up.

===============================================

One kenning here:

rô Þorrs > Thor´s yard arm > TREE.

They don't loo like much yet, but they will work better when placed in a þáttr. I promise!
