The Story Teller

We are spellbound as she tells us her latest tale.
It is wild, wooly, wacky and weirdly wonderful.
She is a wizard of a story-teller, and she knows her audience.
She gives us just the right amount of juice to push us to the edge.
We are ready to scream when she pulls us back in, 
Reeling us into her web of a story, as easily as pulling fish in by the net.
She is the library’s storyteller, and she knows what she is doing.

A good storyteller paints pictures from words which is magic. I loved this verse, Caren

It’s a real talent to be able to captivate an audience like that, Caren! You’ve described this so well…

A spellbinding experience, indeed, Caren. We didn't have these in our little library when I was a kid...oh, how great that would have been. One small note, if I may...in Line 2, I believe the word s/b "wacky".
