30 Day Poetry Challenge: 3

Day 3: Find the nearest book (of any kind). Turn to page 8. Use the first ten full words on the page in a poem. You may use them in any order, anywhere in the poem.

Ok, so the book is The Knight by Gene Wolf, ha, don't ask! The words which I'll need to use are:
That World Is Called (Mythgarthr) I Did Not Learn 'til later...

OK! This is a tough one because it doesn't actually give you any subject to write about so I'm going to write about... A Song Of Ice And Fire!

I travel the land and sell my sword
To the lords that have most gold
'Til called to battle I keep my word
A brave warrior, valiant and bold
In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.

I never knew my father's name
My mother did not say
It's a time where nothing stays the same
Winter is coming some day

In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.

As a boy the sigils I did learn
And motto of each  house and family
But I prefer to think of the gold I earn
No time for fools and gallantry


In a far away world, Westeros by name
And killing is my game.
