Reaching to the sky,
its icy length stretches far.
Protecting the realm.
A great stony web,
crossing the land end to end.
Old yet enduring.
A mighty giant,
clad in bronze with blazing eyes,
proclaims great power.
Immense barriers,
engraved with beasts, war, and love,
conceal great riches.
With unique voices,
they ring throughout day and night.
Their will absolute.
Spanning the great Rhoyne,
groaning under feet and wheels,
it links the city.
Marvelous, yet sad.
Like a thousand shattered jewels
of ancient glory.
Mountain of hewn stone,
stacked in tiers, thirty plus three.
An ancient relic.
its icy length stretches far.
Protecting the realm.
A great stony web,
crossing the land end to end.
Old yet enduring.

To leave the past behind
is to gain wisdom for the future
never looking back only forward.

Journey of a Thousand Places
I have come thousands of miles
Crossed Oceans far
Passed through hundreds of hands
To come to you.
My new father
In a land of pride and perfection
Keep me safe with my new brothers and sisters
Never let me die
Never let me rott
Thank you for saving me.
My last father couldn't keep me any longer
His home became to crowded
His life became hard on him
Time proved to much for our relationship
Time has chosen me to go on a long journey.
A Journey of a Thousand Places.

Kaleidoscope - Chapter 10

Sorry,did that disturb your thoughts?That was the sound of me breaking a aliens neck.I ran over to Black Widow(a.k.a Natasha).
"How many more are coming?" Nat asked while tazing another alien.
"Too much,where are the stations?"
"Stark and Clint are up top.Banner and Thor are taking care of the West and North sections.Loki and Cap are taking the east.We get south."
Great,we have the most active side.A laser zipped past my ear.

Another neck broken.A large explosion broke in the sky.I guess Dad and Clint closed the portal.All the aliens around us collapsed.Loki and Cap sudden

I've been trying to get back into poetry for a while now, and this represents my first attempt to do so (wrote it several months back when I started a new job).
Within the universe of A Song of Ice and Fire (i.e. Game of Thrones), a character named Lomas Longstrider lived over a hundred years before the main storyline, and was famed as a great traveler. He wrote a famous book, Wonders Made By Man, in which he named the nine structures he deemed most spectacular. Only eight have been revealed in-universe so far, but I became fascinated by the concept.
I decided to construct this piece along the same lines as my earlier works "Humanity's Drive" and "Renewed Potential", which also deal with Wonders of the World concepts. If the ninth wonder is ever revealed in Martin's future writings, I'll be sure to add it in. Enjoy!

This is wonderful. I haven't read the books or seen the series yet, so I hadn't realized A Song of Ice and Fire was the same universe as Game of Thrones, but even without that knowledge, this poem struck me as a lovely piece of worldbuilding, setting the scene for vast travels and conflicts set in lands of deep and ancient history. Well done!
