All my life I have been a big dreamer and a big storyteller, my mom said, I had i m a g i n a t i o n. Just like my sweet grandma, gosh she was a great story weaver, at first, tales in my mind were u n w r i t t e n . I would watch her face and all the expressions within her voice, soon with storytelling- I was b i t t e n. She created wonderful characters and scenes with words that rejoice, and because of my grandma this was gift g i v e n . But, oddly nothing was ever, ever written on paper- no pen dripped, but on paper "my" words have f a l l e n . All her stories existed in her mind and she stored carefully each script, one night my grandma went into h e a v e n . And when she died at ninety-four sadly she could not speak a single word, and I told her "life" story by her c o f f i n . ____________________________ October 17, 2017 Submitted to the contest, Another 2017 Stunner sponsor Line Gauthier ____________________ Entered in Rhyme 2, Brenda Chiri NA- Contest Judged, November 2, 2017

Oh, how tender. I hope you remember some of her stories as fodder for your own writing. She gave you so much.

Wow Constance, you have surely written a magnificent poem within a poem! I could see the workings of both poems colliding at once with one another, but also being their own separate entity! I really enjoyed reading your amazing piece this morning, quite the grand spectacular! Great Work!!
