Question: Poem, Prose, Dialog, Play, Essay, Zingdorf, Sprillbosh or Cozgonnavetti!?
*****
“Cornplanter tells stories that make
the children cling close to their mothers!.
He gives life to the great warriors from
long wars many moons ago, beyond counting!.

From each tear and smile, Cornplanter
fills the air with visions of greatness
from Gods and the feebleness of man!.

The sky in Cornplanter’s stories turns
black, but he does not fear it!. He speaks
of power as though he has accepted
the powerless plight of the mortals!.

Cornplanter knows that peace is fleeting!.
He understands that we have fear because many
things are frightening!. Cornplanter tells
the stories so we can learn to face our fears!.”

How do you know this, Sandal Walker!?

“I know it because I must be the next one
who tells the stories!.”

I think you both make it up as you go along!.

“Go bring me some water!”
