Today I’ll combine my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt word, SNITCH

with The Sunday Whirl — Wordle #484

STORY SPINNER A master at crafting, your stories build walls; raise up humble dwellings and palaces tall. I look out the windows you've set in your halls – some frames bold and black, some narrow, some small. I spy this new country you've chosen to scrawl, this world to discover with scenes to enthrall. You've thrown up some cities and peopled them all, each soul with their trial and frequent downfall. You snitch someone's sweetheart misled by some knave; throw gallants to lions to prove themselves brave. I'll read half the night drawn into your spin. But, wasted next morning, I just want to sleep in!
Ah, the story of my life, crawling into a great book until dawn!

I usually don’t allow myself, but in my old age am having trouble falling asleep, so read awhile — preferably something more boring. 🙂

That must have been a wonderful read to keep you hooked for that long!
I did the Sunday Whirl for several years but pulled out in August 2017 as my prose was drowning in an ocean of others poetry! I still miss it though.

Oh, yes. some stories do keep me reading into the wee hours. Some I just know I mustn’t start after 8pm. 😉
I didn’t think I’d subscribed to the Sunday Whirl — maybe I did in my sleep? Anyway, I must have, as it popped into my inbox this morning. Thanks for your comment.

P.S. — Since there are only three other items at present, and one of them is prose, maybe you should join in, too, and contribute your story. 🙂

Rare to find a story so good you have to read until you’re done, no matter how late. It’s wonderful to do so though. I love your rhymes.

Wonderful story, Christine! My favorite reading time is at night in bed, until my eyes close, and the book falls across my lap.
