I can't tell you how impressed I am. I can feel the music in your words. I'm listening to the YouTube version as I write this. Also looked up Gorky's The Flaming Heart of Danko. Myth and legend--poetry and kind of cultural truth. I really would hesitate to run any creative work past you. You are in another league.

Thanks @agmoore it means a lot that this poem is well appreciated as it's the longest poem I've ever written and I felt like it was one of my best out of well over 200 poems written to date. thanks for checking it out and I'm glad you enjoyed the lyrical style of this one :-)
Years ago I read Peer Gynt (Ibsen)--drama written in verse. I was so taken that I was (briefly) tempted to learn Norwegian just so I could read it in the original. The poem draws upon Norwegian mythology--the words ring with music and inspiration. I thought of Peer Gynt as I listened to your poem.
