Mongolian Style Poetry

Samples:

1) Stir now wolves from winters' bed
Southron soon will see the red
Such screams might soon wake the dead
Soon summer and so we come.

2) In Ice, the Palace of the North
Its walls inlaid, inscribed with song,
Is built. Iridescent, it glows
Illuminating the night sky

3) Come fall before the Northrealm Queen
Carlotta calls, quick comes your death
Cast longing looks towards your home
Companions brave steal your last breath
