Poetry: Storytime

by Elisient Vernon

Created on: October 03, 2008

Story Time

A sea of curious eyes stare at me

Waiting...

Expecting something.

A promise?

A seed of knowledge?

Entertainment?




I stare at the innocent faces and panic.

It's a heavy responsibility!

Can I reach into their souls?

Give hope?

Light a spark?

Motivate?




Someone smiles. I smile. All smile.

The moment of tension is over.

I begin. Once upon a time...

Little chests rise and fall.

Bated breath!

... Happily ever after.
