Camp Story
by
coondogk9


Sparks floated upward

diminishing like a quilted firefly.

The campfire of storytellers blazed

in eternal comment.

The night mellow and warm

embraced new dreams.

Morning brought glimmers

of romance and travel.

A story started at

the stroke of a pen.

Some of keys clicking

out a verse.

The circle listened as the

storyteller rehearsed a tale.

Fictional suspense brought

stolen breath from a gasp.

Knuckles white clenched

anticipation of horror.

A silent written scream

brought fear out loud.

The page turns and

comical lines laughed.

Tears ran on hilarity

of silly script.

Sides ached before

the final episode.

Containment made worse

the captured giggles.

The book closes

on a darkening camp.

Blankets cover reruns

and dreams write another.

Hasty pens spend the

morning sipping coffee.

Preparations for

a new night of stories.
