Out of ideas
. . . so I’m reposting a post from nine years ago. It was a response to a prompt from a meme that is no longer active.
Tell me a
story
Tell me a
story
Of once
upon a time,
When magic
ruled the earth.
Tell it
short or tell it long,
Make it trivial
or sublime,
Write it sad
or full of mirth.
Knit a
fabric of surprise,
Blend in
truth and dreams or lies,
But make it real somewise.
Make me
laugh or make me cry,
Tell me tales
that make me sigh,
Bid me
always question, ‘Why?’
Create for
me delicious fright
Or make
me gasp in sheer delight,
And make
sure wrong is never right.
Catch a child’s
mind when you can,
Always make
your stories fun,
Then,
storytellers, you have won!
