to hear is of the utmost

once apon a time, a phrase, a trap.

to snare a reader, even mayhap

to draw you in to hear a tale

of long ago, behind the veil of time

a story, a legend, to tell to hear.

listen now and turn thy ear

to a story of knights and princesses fair

we fly through time, we fall through air.

It's sort of has the quality of a dream someone's having. It flows nicely. Keep it up! And welcome to Apricot Pie! :)

 I really like this! It makes me think of all the old stories I love. Only thing I'd say is the rhyming feels inconsistent. Couldn't you say '' behind time's veil'' instead of ''behind the veil of time'' ?

  Don't misunderstand, because I really like this poem. :)
