NaPoWriMo Day 2: Mythology

Day 2 : Based on non-Greco-Roman myths*



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mythology

Norse thunder heavers
Japanese nightmare eaters
Nigerian knowledge seekers:

 

drawn up to explain,
describe , entertain
to answer all the questions.

 

What are the stars?
How did the leopard get spots
Why are snakes leg-less?

 

Who makes the water in the sky?
Who hung the sun?
Why do noses run?

How come my brother died?

 

 

What is the reason?
What is the meaning of life?

 

Who came?
Who gave?
Who saved?
What changed?

 

Why pain?

WHY pain?

 

Why!

... 

Pain? 

Japanese mountain dwellers
Nigerian baby keepers and
Norse future seers

 

would draw sharp
breaths in disbelief
if they could come across

 

the Truth.

 

*Mythical beings in order of appearance: Thor, Baku, Orunmila, Yobuko,  Oshun and Frigg.
