I found a poetry contest on-line that requires writing a rhyming poem that tells a story. I thought I would coin a word that defines a story in rhyme, and write the story about it. That's how this storetry came to be.. It was fun I hope you enjoy reading it.

Storetry (A story in rhyme) By Franklin Price 5/14/2016 Storetry, a word I've coined At least I think it's mine The following's my first one I hope you think it's fine For years writers have written Myriad poems that tell a tale So many of them classics From poets that we hail Of war and travel, love and loss Many subjects quite diverse Many are novelistic While others are quite terse Many people of the world Scandinavian, Latin, Greek Have written their own Storetries Take an interest, take a peek There's something about poetry That supersedes all prose The rhyming, rhythm of the words To take us where it goes Weaving, painting, sculpturing The phrases one by one To make some sense and sound alike Is interesting and fun I'm ending now this Storetry It is the first from me I'm sure there's more to come along You'll just have to wait to see
