as a story teller I spend a lot of time
reading other people’s work
to sorta keep up
sometimes someone surprises me
several months ago I joined a group of riding pagans
one of them is also a storyteller
and he’s begun something new….
I read this earlier today and have been unable to get it out of my head since…so I’m placing it here so I never loose sight of it…

Ordo Equester Venificus
by Ghostryder

Since the dawn of ancient times, when man finally tamed the wild horse, there have always been those who’s special connection between man and beast and the earth they live on lay them apart from the rest of humanity.

These ancient riders represent the elements of the universe: earth, air, fire, water and spirit.

Today their stallions have changed. Though made of iron and steal, their steeds now breath flame. Their call, Ordo Equester Venificus, the Order of the Ancient Riders.

puzzle me

I don’t get the attraction
of racing home of an evening
to be on time for to watch
Survivor
or Big Brother
or So You Think You Can Dance…

I get so embarrassed for people
that I often can’t watch…
I have to change the channel

and I find myself thinking
“have you no pride…
that you’d subject your meager or non
talent to these masses for ridicule?….”

I get that they want so very badly
to have something
in their lives
that they’d embarrass themselves
on international tv
for a chance at a brief moment of fame
but jeeez eh?

however…
every once in a while
there’s the wee surprise eh?

Kelly Clarkson

Paul Potts

Susan Boyle

Kellie Pickler

caught up
in America’s got Talent
and there are 2 singers
that just blew me away….

could make the lives

could make in these 2 very talented men’s lives
