Out Of The Box

[MystyrMystyry]

I finds at a sale
An old oak chest
I pays the man
Drags it away
I flags down a cab
Soon have it home
I gives him a tip
And hauls it inside
I sees how the lock
Has rusted tight
I needs a knife
To gives it a snap
I gags and splutters
Musty stale dust
I discovers after
The air has cleared

A collection of
Memories

Photographs
Journals
Receipts
Documents
Magazines
Wallets
Passports
Menus
Seed packets
Recipes

A Spell Book


I opens it up
Starts reading
I means casting
And all this magic

I means Magic

Happens all over
The place

Magical writing, Mystyr! Evokes old times and (have I understood properly your grammar mistakes?) an atmosphere of folk tales.

Thankyou Free! :)

This grammar business - I'm not sure about it. I meet people of all walks (and runs, and standing stills), and I think it's their mannerisms that can fire me up. Sort of creating a character based on a real person. (You might say it's acting with words, more or less.)

I think it is a mistake to glorify the way people from a certain socio-economic or culture speak. Let's face it, at least part of the reason for it, is lack of education and its one of the first things they lose once given the opportunity to gain education. Use dialect where appropriate but lets not start thinking its somehow better.
