The storyteller


I don’t consider myself as a poet

I just write some words on pieces of paper

and I am not a musician

because I never learn to play the guitar

and please don’t call an author

I never could have a best seller

but if you want to call me something

just call me a storyteller

I am not a teacher

I was never good at arithmetic

and I am not an actor

although some said I’m a little too dramatic

and please don’t think I’m rich

because I don’t own a house with a wine cellar

but if you want to call me something

just call me a story teller

yeah I like to tell all kind stories

from all different sides of life

some are humorous and some are funny

and some can cut your heart like a knife

and don't think that I am someone famous

because me and the camera never really click

although my last name is “Ishmael”

and is in the great novel Moby dick

I am from the island of Trinidad and Tobago

a fact that I so proudly claim

land of the humming bird, scarlet ibis

the pitch lake, beaches and sugar cane

and I was never a very smart person

I leave school when I was only seven

and I don’t believe in religion

just be a good person and you will go to heaven

I like to take walks on the sand

And in mayaro beach one time I saw a shark

And I like to look up at stars

And see how they twinkles in the dark

And when I am standing outside

I like to see small planes with propellers

so if you want to call me something

then just call me a story teller

I like to play cricket and football

With the boys back in 2nd street

And after we will be drinking some cold beers

And cooking a pot of something to eat

And I like to write about my boyhood days

From la romain, Indian trail and marabella

And tales I heard from my grandmother

Who was the greatset story tellerr


Let kaz ishmael know what you thought about this chapter!

Hello, I recently came across your book on Wattpad and I must say, it’s truly engaging and has great potential to reach a wider audience. My name is Evelyn Bennett, and I’m a professional book promoter. I specialize in helping authors grow their readership by creating eye catching promotional videos and sharing them with my large and active TikTok audience.

I would love to discuss how I can help bring more visibility and sales to your work. Please let me know your thoughts. I’m excited about the possibility of promoting your book.

At this very moment, there are several great songs writers out there. However one stands out. Maybe you heard of of guy named Bob Dylan ? When he received the literature award he didn't even show up to receive it. When asked why? He simply said he was only saying things that others were thinking . No big deal. I like the fact that you unwrapped the red tape and kept things simple.
