LOKI
It was not long after the world was formed from the flesh of Ymir,
That there was a Giant that was called Loki,
He was the son of the Giant Farbauti and the Giantess Laufey,
He had mixed his blood with Odinn’s,
They had become the best of friends,
Odinn would not hold a feast without Loki being there.
Loki was counted as one of the Aesir,
Being the Blood-Brother of Odinn,
He was always the traveling companion of Odinn and Thor,
At that time Loki got along well with the Gods.
Once Loki decided to journey to Midgard,
While he was there he took the shape of a cow,
And also that of a woman,
And having children,
He spent eight years in Midgard.
One day while grazing in a pasture,
Loki happened upon a half-burnt heart,
Not paying attention to what he was doing he ate the heart.
The nature of Loki began to change,
Loki’s mind was burnt up,
Loki decided to return home to Asgard,
To see his Blood-Brother Odinn.
Because his mind was burnt up,
Loki began to play games and cause mischief among the Gods,
Many times he had got the Gods into trouble,
But he was always forced to correct the wrongs he caused.
Though Loki was the cause of so many problems,
It was because of him that,
Odinn got his Mighty Steed Sleipnir and his Spear Gungnir,
And The God of Thunder had received Mjollnir,
And many other gifts bestowed upon the other Gods.
As time moved along,
Loki’s mind grew more menacing,
He helped the Giant Thjazi in getting Idunna,
Loki had taken Brisingamen from Freyja,
Heimdall having to fight Loki in getting it back,
He even tricked Hod into killing his brother Balder.
Though it was at Aegir’s feast,
That Loki got into real trouble,
When he showed up at Aegir’s Hall,
He killed Fimafeng and Eldir servants of Aegir,
Then he crashed the feast and insulted many of the Gods.
Loki soon ran for his life,
He had hid in the Franangr-fors waterfall from the searching eye’s of the Gods,
Until he was finally caught in the shape of a salmon,
In the very net he had made himself,
He was bound with the guts of his son Nari,
And poison drips still on his face,
His ever loving wife Sigyn,
Holding a bowl over his face to catch the poison.
