The Perfect Storytellers

Stories are hidden in a piano,
How many stories can you make with each key,
Is a wrong key ever really wrong,
Or is it the beginning of a new story,
When told will have its own wrong keys,
Which become their own stories,
With each key,
You tell a story,
Stories are hidden in a fish tank,
Each fish inside had a story,
They had a story of a life,
A life in a fish tank,
A fish tank with its own stories,
Fish come and leave,
Stories only come,
With each fish,
You receive a story,
Stories are hidden in building blocks,
How does a wooden cube,
Become the story of a mythical city,
Or an immense skyscraper,
Or a long long bridge over a river,
How much has one block been,
And how much will it become,
With each block,
You create a story

Amy Sell Date: 1/15/2018 7:59:00 PM Your sensitivity certainly comes through here, as only the more sensitive of us would ponder the stories of a fish in a fish tank, piano key on a piano, or brick in a bridge. I'd imagine they are more detailed and significant than most people imagine.
