Storytellers – 20th June 2025

a little line of dancing taps

the keys make words
and the words are key

neuron-fired inspirers
transferred to fingers
– stories without end


getting to the heart of it
grand secrets bleed out
beating the resistance

the rambling essence
authenticity

cracked and revealed

    1. Thank you 🙏

      It’s difficult to analyse how well oneself reads I think. It does make me consider what is written and how it should be read. I’m still learning.

  2. I enjoyed the reading of your poem. Our minds are filled with never-ending stories waiting to be tapped out one keystroke at a time.

    1. I understand the artistic attitude of show and don’t tell in poetry but I also believe in telling and telling well. Sometimes we don’t need to beat around the bush.

  3. I love the idea – and the reality – that tapping the keys is another way to resist, be authentic, speak truth to power. A wonderful message.

  4. “getting to the heart of it
    grand secrets bleed out
    beating the resistance”

    In your wonderful reading of this poem I saw/heard how the tapping of the keys related to the “beating.” Heart and blood, all in passion has the rhythm, the drum, that ultimately crack and reveal . . .
