Grassy Valhalla

Dermot

Rhymed
Here she comes the spectators cheer
Catch her flight or melee in muck
Ash breaks echo off wet shins struck
Bygone our Celtic battle spear

Nameless, numbered; one to fifteen
They cross the mount with leather spheres
To hurl the sun leave nought between
Warriors bred three thousand years
