"I Want To Be A Storyteller"

Above all else
I want to be a storyteller

To be a weaver of words
A purveyor of tales
To razzle, dazzle
And maybe entertain

To tie up readers
With many-knotted plots
Twists and turns,
And truths I’ve learned

To build and build
And then to climax
When my noble barbarian
Unearths the magic axe

Above all else
I want to be a storyteller
But wouldn’t you know it?
Thus far, I’m just a poet
