Screamasax
A screamasax was a Viking short sword. This poem is an example of the use of “kennings”, where the writer describes something in a number of vivid ways without actually mentioning what is being described. It was a favourite technique in Anglo-Saxon and Viking literature.
If an axe was a dragon-tongue, what would you call a tongue? :
1.-Mouth-snake
2.-Lies-weaver
3.-Teeth-prisoner
4.-Word-maker
5.-Palate-whip
6.-Throat-guard
You may choose one of these options or invent your own. (There’s a prize for the winner, believe me!!!).
