Don't know where you get all those spaces, which pop up randomly in your texts, Phara... You have way to many of those! Try to separate words just with a single space, and don't put them in front of full stops or commas or it gets all cluttered.
Also, question: What's "lamnes"? You use it more than once and, well, it's not an English word I fear.
You seem to actually mean families, right?
I'm also not sure about the Ice Tribe legal system you mentioned, maybe you found it in the entry or got it from Alt? If that's the way it is up there, let's have a look at the first poem for now:
Father's goodbye
He just stood
with tear in eye
silver snow and sapphire sky
called me to stay, called me to stay
No
,
I couldn't stay
War call
ed
, so strong
I kissed him
on the
forehead
(or maybe just "his forehead")
So long my son, so long
Remember well
Words I am going to say
Those that
kill
me
You
will
have to slay
That's it basically. Guess there's otherwise no problem with this one in its short poignant way, assuming its Ice Tribe custom the way your describe it

Thanks for suggestions
. I will remove spaces . Lamnes is name for clan among Ice Tribes . There is no legal system among Ice Tribes , so I implemented custom way tribal societies deal with murder . Altario did not say it is wrong , should I consult him about it ?

Hi Phara,
If you look at the way that Artimidor and I use punctuation and the way you use it, you'll see that neither of us have a space before punctuation marks, and mostly only use one space after them. Do you suppose you could try to do that as well? I find it a lot easier to read through entries when there are no spaces before punctuation marks. It also makes it easier for Artimidor when he needs to integrate entries into the compendium, if the entries have the same formatting 'style'.
I hadn't heard of an Ice Tribe called Lamnes before. I'll have to check that out for you.
Oh I see now ... in the entry they say that clans are called
lannes
not
lamnes
... you will need to fix those up. I'm guessing that lannes means clan in the Ice Tribe language ... so maybe consider just using 'clan' in the poems, to help those of us who aren't Ice Tribe experts know what they mean. The Compendium is written primarily in Tharian, and I'd presume that clan is the Tharian word for lannes.
Yes, I think Altario should be asked about the tribal laws, just so he can give his ok on it. He may have, for example something quite different for it being planned. It is always a good idea to get the advice/suggestions of the person in charge of a particular region/tribe/whatever before doing something that can impact on them. I'll draw Altario's attention to your peoms for you, if you like.
I hope I didn't scare you off or anything with what I've said here. Have an aura for listening to advice and acting on it.
Dek

I like this one a lot, so this is the one I have given some editing advice for!
Death of queen = The Queen's Death
Glorious queen, of beauty full
Singed with voice so strong = who sang with voice so strong
That reached up to the sky = That reached up to the sullen sky (added the adjective for scansion)
O , ravens you fly so long = O, ravens, you fly long ( removed weak word, also repairs scansion)
O, ravens, ravens, ravens
Wind is under your wings = The wind's beneath your wings (just fixing scansion again)
Since beginning of time
You can see all of things = You can see all things ('of' is unnecessary in English grammar. Removing it fixes scansion)
Have you seen the king, = Ravens, have you seen the king?
Proud he is, my loved one
Riding in front of an army = Riding at the army's front (better scansion and stress)
To do what has to be done = To do what must be done (stronger word choice, scansion)
Now there are hundreds = Now there are hundreds of your kind (NOW there are HUNdreds OF your KIND - four beats per first and third line, as with the rest of the poem)
Of your kind, covering sun = Covering the sun (COVerING the SUN - three beats in second and fourth line, as with rest of poem)
So Battle of Winds must be over = The Battle of the Winds is through (major rewrite but the line as it stands has no rhythm or proper number of syllables
)
And where is my man? (wonderful poignancy!)
They haven't said a word = The warriors did not say a word ('They' otherwise can only refer back to the ravens. Is that what you meant?)
Just dropped severed hand = Just dropped a severed hand
She looked her with despair = She looked upon it with despair
And dead she fall on the land = And dead fell on the land (I assume you want this all in past rather than present tense.)
Wonderfully powerful images at the heart of this poem! For writing in a second language you have done very well.
Another aura for you from the Bard. Thanks for jumping in and being creative with little fear!

Like Art, lets take these one at a time.
I'm no poet, and I know it. I leave that to the Sordoc's of the world. So, I will only comment to the Ice Tribeyness of the Introduction and tone of the poem.
Phara, as Dek states, the correct spelling is Lannes. The blood feud seems reasonable to me. I'm not sure the consequence of not following it would be so high, but we can tweek that to be a tribal thing and not part of all the Ice Tribe culture. Afterall, each has to have its own quirks. Where I disagree with Dek, is in dropping the name Lannes. Personally, I would keep it, as it adds to the authenticity of it. Though, you could say "punishing of the murderers is left to family and lannes (the Ice Tribe name for clan) of the murdered one." Then it does make it clear for the reader. Then you can leave all other references to Lannes as they are.
My only other quibble is minor as well. You say that children follow him walking down the street. I'd drop "the street", and just have the children following him. "Street" creates a mental image that doesn't really apply. Other than the Remusians, these other Ice Tribes will be very primitive in their housing and communities. There wont be streets that houses are built beside. A community will be a hodge podge of shelters built kinda piggly wiggly with no real plan.
I will comment on the others tonight. Off to work. Good job, Phara.

Judy: Since the queen asks of the ravens where the king is, I assume the 'they' does refer to the ravens (first stanza: third person, followed by first person, last stanza third person again). At least, that's what makes the most sense to me

Comments and edits in
Lavender
This song
written down by Lyrotal Draconall, researcher of the North, was for centuries passed down from father to son among Ice Tribes. It deals with a very important issue for
every tribal
Sarmanian
society, feud (blood revenge).
Since
Among
Ice Tribes there is no developed legal system and
punishing
of the
murderers is left to family and lannes( the Ice Tribe name for clan ) of
the
murdered one. Therefore, children are from an early age
learned
taught
that their duty is to
avenge
the death of their relatives. Since all members of lamnes share the same blood, they must kill any man from killers lamnes to fulfill they duty.
This last sentence is a bit awkward. Perhaps, As each member of a lanne is considered to share the same blood, all the members of the offended lanne feel it is their duty to take the life of the murderer, or at the very least, someone from the other lanne.
If someone does not
make
partake in
the feud(blood revenge), he is considered
as
a disgraced man and inferior, and
among other things
, he loses the right to get
married
and the right to eat with and to advise with the warriors. When he
goes
somewhere
the
children
will
follow him and sing this song
to further add to his humiliation
.

What I always find interesting about your comments Altario is how you often say what colour you'll write in and you invariably use another one... I should start doing that. Give them something to think about other than how evil I am about grammar.

A quick little doodle / pastiche inspired by the Raven Queen poem.
Just view small for best effect!

Yes, Art, I know we've used that background before! Those billowing red clouds were just what I needed to suggest the distant furor of battle, and the mournful rain adds pathetic fallacy....
It should be taken down to about 80 percent and any infelicities of fuzziness or pixelation will be avoided. Face, for example, was deliberately left blurred....
