Blood Eagle Poem by Sophie Allyah
Blood Eagle
These are the methods
of the gruesome invention
They must first placed
in a prone position
In order to create a pair of wings
at the back of the victims
This must be done
very painful and cruel
Severing the ribs from
the spine with a sharp tool
Detaching one at a time
Their lungs pulled through the opening
Thus creating the wings of sickening

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Graphic, slow and cruel, the Blood Eagle is one of the most nightmarish torture methods of history to ever be described. It is closely associated with the Vikings. Authors from the 12th- and 13th-centuries, it was a long standing Scandinavian tradition used on the worst of enemies and criminals. The exact date when this torture technique originated is unknown and there exists no proof that it was ever legally banned or prohibited
