A Whisper Tells a Story

A whisper tells a story In a most peculiar way Unlike dulcet, milky tones Heard at preschool in the day. A story told in whispers Will invoke a certain mood, Sending shivers down the spine As dark images are brewed. Whispered words are lovely Though often deeply stirring, Like a sleepy little cat Curled in the corner purring. Should you find the whisper trite, Just consider for a while If a bellow filled with rage Will calm a wailing child. So, whisper certain stories In a most mysterious way, To paint the wordy pictures And spark little minds at play. © Cherie May 2015
