Prompt 20: Myth

Thanks to Mary at Answers to the Questions for this week's prompt, myth. Thanks also for the image, background information, and poem, Mary.

In Shinto, the Japanese Kappa are a type of water imp and are considered to be one of many suijin (literally "water-deity"). From Wikipedia.

My story is a sacred one
about how the world began --
a mythos full of gods,
near-gods, those wrathful beings,
who explain beginnings to fools.
(Mary T)

    Thanks for the prompt, poem and image. The image is intriguing and the poem so interesting! I like the twist of the wrathful beings explaining beginnings to fools.

    An inspiring prompt and wonderful art. For my submission, however, I'm not happy with how blogspot handles the spacing. The visual appearance and spacing are as important to me as the words, and the blogspot template not only insists on indenting all first lines, but wouldn't let me leave large blank spaces for "the unnamed." So, I had to use the dots. For now - I'm looking for a way around this.
