       by the light of the harvest moon

       I’ve another – and another – for you

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

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...

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

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....

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...

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....

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

Storyteller

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....

THE VIOLET KINGDOM


purple spreads on a
flower bed in a child’s room
~ violets in bloom ~


ivy climbs the wall
surroundings of her kingdom
~ a barbie princess ~


the storyteller
retells a fair adventure
~ pages kiss good night ~

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.

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......

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.

I am a storyteller
Yet I cannot see very well
For my eyes betray me 
With images of no man's land
For I am no veteran 
As I have not seen what they have 
Yet it's as if I've been there
Every step of the way
For my ears ring with shell shock 
And my feet drag with mud
For which I hope 
To you all
That none of you follow me 
Through this Great War...

The puppet is telling a story in silence
But not its own story
It's only a story of others 
Or of the man behind the scene who narrates
Or of the writer who collects
Or of the anonymous who declares
The puppet is only an obedient actor
A silent storyteller of freedom and dignity
Man sometimes lives like a puppet too
Especially in a country where hegemony exists...

"she spoke of him quoting others.
Were his quotes of stories, might I call him
a storyteller.
Were hius stories of Ballets, might
 than I speak of him as a songster.
Then he speaks of unknowns and
 sceince: so then shall we call
him and unknown sceintist.
Then who's works are these? Thus we 
stand in the confience of tommorrow, to
have the blueprints to the future!"

from Doctor Wufgang Sinsier...
