The Art of Storytelling

 

I specialize in crafting short rhyming story poems that vary from thought-provoking to light-hearted and humorous. My works often touch on themes of family, friendship, and even the political landscape of our country.

​

Allow me to introduce myself – I am Craig D. Erlewine, raised in New Martinsville, West Virginia. During my youth, I spent years delivering newspapers, immersing myself in life experiences and the diverse nature of people.

Time

​

Time came and went

seconds were heaven sent.

Time to move ahead

no memories to dread.

Why wish for more

opportunity closed that door.

Left you with a smile

not seen for awhile.

Move on to what is next

no waiting for a text.

There is a world to see

with many places to be.

Experiences for the next book

not time for a second look.

Get out and dance

write about dreams and romance.

The world will continue

with you choosing the venue.

If the world should change

you may have to rearrange.

Do not waste time on a vent

time came and went.
