An Orlanthi Creation Myth

SILENCE, One, co-mingled, split.
GLORANTHA birthed, increased and paired. The COURT ruled all, a perfect fit,
On SPIKE they built, then anger flared.

All-Changing UMATH came to be,
Saw staleness, staid, the Court of YELM, He fought for CHANGE, was chained, unfree, His windy SONS fought on to free the realm.

Young ORLANTH claimed great contests three, In DANCE he is out stepped, the judges claim, In MUSIC sore out played, though played with glee, In weapons shows that DEATH is not a game.

(with apologies to Jeff, and bad beat poets everywhere)
