Short story

He sat there, by the old hearth. The warm orange for the fire danced of his slim body. His hair was painted with ribbons and braids. His fingers, gentle as he rubbed them against the wood he was carving. I sat down of the floor, looking up at him along with other children. His voice was warm, gentle. Like Apollo's soft morning light. He spoke of magic, and elves, and dragons. More and more he spoke of. I shall never forget his tales, and I someday wish that I'll be the one telling the words of a poet.
