Haiku
Earthquakes
snake gnawing world’s roots
seeking freedom to destroy
Earth trembles and shakes

For Carpe Diem Haiku Kai: Nidhöggr – Adrian Von Zeigler
my first choice was a Senryu:
preparing the battle
dragon gnaws at life’s roots
Ragnarök today!
N.B. Since my youngest son was little he loved mythology and history…of course he went into D&D for a time, we read fantasy together in the evening and old Norse stories…you can say that the kid helped me create a knowledge base I wouldn’t have had…encluding Egyptian dieties…ergo Bastet! I think I’ll have to pass this piece of music on to him. He’ll love it and I find it better than some of the Epic Metal that he usually listens too when the mood takes him!
Bastet and Sekhmet's Library 
Love Norse mythology, but always been more of a Greek fan. Great reading poetry based on myths though.

The Norse poetry is really rather primitive when compared to the Greek stuff…

True. I prefer reading the stuff as stories for some reason. I use a lot of mythology influence in my books.

My youngest son loved Mythology…greek, egyptian or Norse and others. He searched everywhere at a certain age for the Ring of the Nibelungs when he was older but we’d gone the rounds before he got there! Ragnarok always seemed so strang a concept to me, unless you put it into contect of everyday life…we each meet our Ragnarok some day when Nidhoggr’s call comes.
