You know how handmade stories go from a major source, words should flow; reporters are slick to have new sensations sell wizards are quick to write on potions and spells Is it the news of every day,you want to hear is it the blues of skies grey you also fear; or the land of make believe, with wands ready servants with rolled up sleeves, and hands steady. Is it fantasies you want,with characters unreal, or are thrillers your haunt,with plots to steal... know how created stories from seasons go; as winter tales perk up, when snowflakes blow. Are you on a caravaan running windswept dunes or playing the clarinet in seas of lookey tunes; what is the pleasure of your write is your creativity nothing but contrite? How stories twist round and round new stories shoot forth from earthen mounds; others bud out from branches standing firm older ones die from infective garden germs. There are reasons for these stories to unfold and pleasures to be wrought from tales untold; as handmade stories sprout from buds in the mind nurtured tales come from the depths of your find. |

This is great, Martin! I love the way you unravel this tale. "How stories twist round and round new stories shoot forth from earthen mounds; others bud out from branches standing firm older ones die from infective garden germs." Your imagery of stories growing outward from branches is delightful. |

ecrivan, a tale to remember, wise words to tell include a small moral and all will be well spin stories of fantasy soothing to hear and then all will listen and softly draw near speak legends and sonnets a word to the wise not forgetting the lryic to help them to rise then in full mastery tell what you will the world is awaitingyou, hushed and so still. Beautiful storyline Martin. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (12-19-2001 05:52 AM).] |

Hi Keth, I enjoyed your comment in verse, gives me inspiration to continue, Midnetsium, there are yet other analogies in my mind but I didn't want this to go on too long. thanks to everyone else who has commented and yes I know there are to sides to every story or rather issue but aren't you thinking about what people recount independent of their personal involvement. |
