The Storyteller

I was mesmerized by the tales he told of foreign lands and shores. Tales of bravery and men so bold going off to fight their wars. Of foreign lands and shores, his stories hold rapt attention. Going off to fight their wars immersed in intrigue and tension. His stories hold rapt attention to all who gather to hear. Immersed in intrigue and tension, stories of bravery and fear. To all who gather to hear from this storyteller so great, stories of bravery and fear, stories of love and hate. From this storyteller so great, tales of bravery and men so bold. Stories of love and hate. I was mesmerized by the tales he told.

Francine, I love your pantoum about the storyteller. Storytelling seems to be a lost art, but those who still practice it always amaze me. Indeed, I would travel far to hear this man's stories. To me, the form looks perfect, dear. Best wishes if this is the one you choose to enter! Love, Carolyn

Francie you did so great with the line layout and the story, but I'm worried for you, the form has no meter or end rhyme and Paula watches where those periods go like a hawk! Just check with her, mostly about your use of end rhyme BIG HUGS...just trying to help hon. Light & Love

Some of the greatest stories come from others or story tellers nicely penned. cory
