Loki's Tryst (Ode) by OneFingerAnswer
"The mighty mason and his steed,
They have almost completed their deed.
The wall will be done soon
Then I will owe the sun and moon.
If I have to give Freya to be his wife
I swear to you Loki, I will take your life."
This they say Odin did swear,
And so the Trickster became a mare.
Blast and steed were quick with stone
But it was too much be done alone
And so while the mason built away
Loki bid the steed to stray
And through the sky went sun and moon
And Svadilfari was kept from returning soon
Behind a bush nature took unnatural shape,
With Svadilfari and Loki nape to nape
And leg to leg, moving thrust for thrust
One does not betray Odin's trust
For Loki named the terms to be done
And almost lost the moon and sun
And if Freya was to be wed
Odin would see Loki dead
But the morrow was the end
And own life he did defend
For if the work was not done
Then nothing did had the mason won
And so the wall was built for free
And Blast's true form they did see
A giant of rock, strong and mean
But Mjollnir did kill him clean
Guided by the hand of Thor
Through Blast's head the hammer tore
So on did Loki live
And a present he did give
After one half and ten months whole
Loki did bring a arachnid foal
On eight legs the horse did stride
And Loki sent him to Odin's side
And on he went to say
