I'm not a poet
I'm a poet trapped
inside a storyteller.

The only thing that could be worse
would be an abolitionist
trapped inside a drunk.

I rather enjoy being a poet trapped inside a story-teller ... I can't imagine it being a handicap, but more so ... a condiment

interesting thoughts

Well, from the poems of yours that I have read, I have surmised that you do a very good job of letting the poet out of the storyteller!

~ and your last stanza got a chuckle out of me!

Ditto to Linda's remarks my friend,

You do a very good job with what you write.

Hi CM, my grand mum is a great storyteller and so is my mum. Nothing wrong in being a poet inside a storyteller however getting drunk doesn’t suit a abolitionist. They need to be setting good examples.

critical mass - being a poet inside a story teller, never thought of it like that...
