"The Storyteller" In childhood I listened to Grandma tell stories, she would talk of family, past and not; I watched her face and her expressions fascinated, each word became etched in my mind, then Grandma died- now I tell the family stories. _______________ January 4, 2017 Poetry/Verse/Rooting for 8 to 5 Copyright Protected, ID 17-863-227-0 All Rights Reserved.

Really nice Broken Wings. Nice take on the roots theme of the contest. Those family memories are roots that will continue to grow even if the original story teller has passed. Great job. Much luck in the contest
