Story Of 'a Story'! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

A Moral or A Message
Immortal to be Passed,
From Events Past,
Instances Present and,
Thoughts of Future;
'A Story' is, thus Born!

Heard or Observed,
Self-told or Retold,
Narrated or Recited,
Portrayed or Written,
For the Record;

On Leaflets,
On Wooden Pieces,
On Bronze Strips,
On Stone Walls,
On Incriptions,
On Paper Slips,
In Classic Digital Bits,
In Quantum QBits!

Characters Human,
And Non-Human,
Situations, Reactions,
Responses, Consequences,
Deeds Good & Bad;
In a Language of the Day,
With Expressions!

Begining Somewhere,
With an End or,
A Saga of No End;
'A Story' Real or Fictious,
Is Brewed in a Book;
Ready to be Read or,
For a Collector's,
Showcase Item!

A Prequel or Sequel,
May then Follow,
To Elude the Reader!

Rever it an Epic,
Shrivel it a Novel,
Precise it an Article,
It's still 'A Story',
Big or Short for Time!

If Neither a Moral,
Nor a Message;
Role Models for sure,
Imprints on Mind!

And This,
A Poetic Story,
Of 'A Story' Age Old!
