“…And I was sat in front of a number of beasts
They were the Pantheon of The Earth, I was told to give each a name befitting their station
First came a serpent who emerged from the depths with a smile neither kind or cruel (he came with a smile both kind and cruel!)
And to him I said:
You Alligator, I name Charon, which means Death On The River.
Patient, and powerful, as a god must be; your domain is all the waterways of this earth..”
#I don’t know why I wrote this#I kind of just feel like very many animals are gods of their own domain#even if we can travel faster and farther than a rabbit he still demands respect for what he is: a tricky god of speed#if your reading this I’m challenging you to pick some animals and give them the ‘godly’ names they deserve#it was really fun coming up with a name for the alligator so I imagine you will have fun naming something else!#i know that’s not Charon actually translates too but I took some liberties#poetry#animals#creative writing#wildlife#wild life#beasts#alligators#pantheon#writing challenge#alligator#nature#natural world#nature poetry#Charon#death on the river
