The Long Night
In the year of AL 303,
All of Westeros knew misery.
White Walkers came forth, slew those in the North,
Azhor Azhai's light wasn't to be.
…
The dragons of fire were no shows,
For in Essos, Dany had her woes.
And those in the black, were all driven back,
And Roose Bolton's defence was too slow.
…
So a nightmare fouler than reckoned,
Went to the South second by second.
The Southerners laughed, these things of the past,
But all the while their end did beckon.
…
While the Northers south they did flee.
And Bran he remained linked to a tree.
And southward spread white, herald of Long Night,
And came the end of humanity.

This was based on a writing exercise for the poetic form of Gwawdodyn, where syllable counts go 9/9/10/9. It was also loosely adapted from the poem Gettysburg by William Preston.
