Seeing the story

"Wake up!"

I am awake.

"Why do you keep nodding your head?"

I am seeing the story.

"Why don't you just tell it?"

Because there is more than the words.

"Tell me."

I will try to explain.

Stories are not only the words.

They have a life of their own.

We watch from a distance.

Now,

 if somehow we find a way to share?

"Me?"

Yes.  You can tell your own stories.

"When?"

Always.

She walks away.

 Turns her head back.

"I get it, but you still have to tell me more stories."

Ever,

 and ever,

   little one.

This was fun, stories do have a life of their own.

[Jon Roggie]

This led to the other one. Decided to bring in a friend.

Nice wistful ending on this one Ruggie.
:)

[Jon Roggie]

Roggie, but I have been mistaken for a rug at times. ;) Glad you liked it.

[Tony Jordan]

Oops forgive me - flaming typos. If you had been called Matt you'd have made the perfect rug (ps a rug is sometimes called a mat)

[Jon Roggie]

All in fun. Campfire story, and it should end with something to dream about.

[Tony Jordan]

Speaking of dreams - I hear my bed a-calling
Nite JR.

[Jon Roggie]

Sleep well.

This really does take me back to the wide eyed adventure of discovering reading for pleasure as a kid. I was laid up for about four months as a kid when I got knocked down and it seemed everyone and their cat come to visit me with comic books, commando adventures and even school books. The first one I read was a group of short stories by some nobody called Roald Dahl. I'm sure it was he who opened my mind to the enjoyment reading can bring, as well as the urge to read just one more chapter before bed. It was probably the reason I tried my hand at it many years later.
Hoping the tales continue my friend.

[Jon Roggie]

Not a bad place to start. His stories keep giving people joy. Hopefully, I can keep spinning a tale for awhile.

i like the stories of poetry...they are felt more than told...

but we always want to feel more...even when we grow up.

I have fun with these. I still don't know how I should classify them, but might as well post them.
Jon.
