Stories are a patchwork
Of many twists and turns.
Back and forth the reader goes,
Stirring the plot with churns.
–
Some tales have only people,
Some have none at all,
Some use stranger types,
Like monsters, large and small.
–
Demons, witches, giants and ghosts,
Creatures undefined.
Wizards, elves and vampires,
Spooks of every kind.
–
There’s everything from corporate greed
To trains and cars colliding.
From elaborate insurance scams
To criminals in hiding.
–
Ships will sink and trains derail,
Buildings tumble to the street.
Priceless jewellry disappears.
Secret agents meet.
–
Floods pouring through the streets.
Leaky rowboats lost at sea.
Forest fires trapping campers.
Cars pinned beneath a tree.
–
Children sheltering from a storm.
People robbing graves.
A victim locked in a vault.
A tsunami’s pounding waves.
–
Weather light and fluffy,
Weather deep and dark,
So many stories swirl around.
Each tale will leave its mark.
