Words

Seem to arise

Declaring independence

Naming everything

Which cannot be named..

An amazing story

     My tale may well pale
       by the light of the harvest moon

     Yet should it fail to woo
       I’ve another – and another – for you

The storyteller of the family
she could weave a tale with skill using voices and emotions
never wrote them down and in time her stories faded with age

That Guy Over There

through keys and cords
we are spoken to in a world without words.
it's a language unto itself.

a lonesome storyteller speaking
through a tip jar and candlelight.

Premium Member The Storyteller

When your stories have all been told      
          Or worse yet, heard by young and old  
I can tell you what to do    
Find an audience that’s new
And torment them until you’ve been paroled

Premium Member Captain Kangaroo

We all remember Captain Kangaroo
who lived in his treasure house as opposed to a shoe
he was a most enthusiastic storyteller
when kids went to sleep he’d head for the cellar

Rumble Stein's Magical Book of Bedtime Secrets

Rumple Stein opens his great 
book of old,
Under the blanket, a tale will
unfold,
Magic and monsters and
heroes so brave,
Pointing his finger to a deep
hidden cave,
Leaving you dreaming of
secrets he gave.

Or Not To Be

Full time poet,
part time novelist

Full time storyteller,
part time bard

The difference greater
than words will imply

Hemispheric divergence
—the why and the how

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)

Premium Member Relics

Read,
escape;
Then share it;
That adventure 
will last for all time;
Before bed give daydreams,
feast on relics from the past;
Passed to the next generation
a gifted storyteller wields the 
mystery and magic of evening tales.

Premium Member Chariot

Charmful lemon-shaded dragon,
Happy and respectful!
Aptitudes off the charts as a 
Reassuring and delightful storyteller.
Intelligent beyond belief and
Overwhelmingly friendly and truthful while
Tending a pumpkin patch!

Storytelling 

What is a Storyteller
If nothing more than a Lady or a Fella
With a overzealous mind
And an overview of time and the whiles of folk
That have spoke
To a place 
Where the engines awake 
And fire and stoke an Earthquake

Premium Member Clerihew Alan Watts

Minister in England, professor of philosophy, Alan Watts
elusive and mystical storyteller connected all ephemeral dots
Pre-eminent interpreter of Eastern thought and religion
Yells “exactly!” as I dose off, awaking me, irks just a smidgen

How Poetry Makes Me Feel

When I write poetry
I am not only a writer
but I am also
a painter
a sculptor
a potter
a psalmist
a teacher
a storyteller
a pastry chef
a barista
a tailor
a carpenter
an engineer
and an architect
of descriptive words
and figurative language

Premium Member Liar Fred and His Stories

Did you see the tiny elephant dancing on the mannequin’s head?
I look at this storyteller, my dear uncle, we call him Liar Fred.
Of course, I did I say, and he laughs until his face turns brilliant pink.
The elephant dances by and the mannequin gives us both a wink.

Premium Member Poet's a To Z Aloud No 15

Lyrical in beauty
dug from the depths 
of the past.
A storyteller, articulate 
elegaic  writing words
to last.
Of farm life and childhood, 
deep in Irish  terra firma 
frozen in memory
and now 
released for our delight 
in  a succinctness of thought
of the commonplace

We are

Storytellers

In our speaking

Conversing

Interpreting..

Seemingly

Making sense of

The indescribable

Spontaneity of this..

Death of the

Frees the story

Telling itself

With a character

Fondly

Known as the

Storyteller

Now, as spring light fades into 
a soft blue night, I turn to you and ask
Tell me more.
The river doesn’t run rapidly as before
The lake is dry
No wind blows away broken dreams.
Tell me more, if you can before, the light
Is an empty space
The stillness has lost its echo.

Storyteller (Nonet #1)

Shadows cover the bullet by half. Father buck scavenges berries. Offspring of His fathers faith. Man waits high in the larch. Cumbersome stomach. Rifle prepared. Trustworthy. Patient. Time.

The Storyteller

You spin the world
You shake with pride
as tales of wonder
tear your eyes
You're ageless now
You flood the room
and force us to 
your heart entomb
You never stop
You never think
of all your grandeur
stamp and ink
You took the role
You spoke the words
and now you've left us
cold, disturbed...

Premium Member BLESSED TO TELL STORIES WHEN WE'RE OLD

As every day we attempt to create our own version of Camelot…
whether we are a distinguished poet…
a famous storyteller…
or not

may we be blessed to spend each moment
filling our life with happy memories
that…as the years unfold
become the poems we write
and the stories we tell
in our Camelot…when we’re old.

The poet the artist the writer the dancer The Storyteller the actor the drawer the painter the singer the musician
