Dreaming of Silver Roses

Simple and plain

 

I keep hearing just tell the story

Keep it simple, make it plain

Don’t add ruffles, don’t add any laces

Just a stripped down model, Plain Jane

Show, don’t tell and certainly don’t preach

They have a right to think; no highfalutin speech

Let them choose for themselves

You don’t need to embellish

There’s no need to make it prettier

Just write the story

Simple and plain.

 

Bare bones alone; no artifice

But written in words that tantalize

You can lead and leave a trail

But they need the right to decide

Draw them in and make them wonder

Let them dream like some spell they’re under

But above all just streamline and contain

Just write the story

Simple and plain.
