THE STORY TELLER

THE STORY TELLER,

by Jonathan Caswell

 

A story teller I once knew

Used actions and gestures to

      Make points that were key

      To each story…

Especially when they were true.

–

When excited, one had to watch out,

For his volume would rise to a shout

      That might have brought tears

      To younger ears…

Reaching concert halls could have been his tout.

–

He celebrated commonplace

Events with a glow from his face…

      Even with complaints

      His memory still paints

Vivid pictures in time and in space!
