"Creativity is a part of every human being. It is as much a part of us as breathing and we either accept it and get to work or we ignore the spark and deny the needy and wounded world the beauty of its manifestation."
Sozzel the Jongleur 2
The Jongleur walked through the ale house door into the dim and din. He had played and recited here just last week and was well received. He felt well prepared to offer some peculiar tellings, stories and poetry to puzzle, shock, and entertain. He looked about looking for a familiar face. A toothless grin and a dirty face from honest labor twirled by. In his arms a once-pretty partner laughed shrilly. Both danced about to music that only they could hear. 'The old sot smiles and his filthy cohort dance a jiggle of old bones and graceless promenades rough hewed, true to the gravel tones I entrain no eminence grise no gift could I yet endue but try I would' He climbed upon the stage and yelled out 'Let the stories and poetry begin and sozzel the Jongleur for the telling.'

Sozzel the Jongleur - Halloween Tales
The night is chilly and the full moon shines down, casting sharp shadows where invisible things crouch, and watch, the comings and goings of the living. The jongleur pulls up his collar and walks into the warmth and golden light of the pub. He unstraps his sack, and pulls out an old guitar. The dour patrons are quiet, and perhaps a little fearful, tonight is Halloween. A bright and happy song is offered, but does little to change the somber mood. So he puts down his guitar and begins to spin tales, and poetry, to entertain, and perhaps even to send a shiver up a spine or two.
He stands upon the bar and recites, "This Halloween night there will be no final call, too darkly real this verse to let it rest we’ll share a strain 'Til midnight pass I’ll acquaint the frightening tales of foolishness and happenstance in a lunatic world belly up, gratuit the sommelier fie to this misspent day and sozzel the Jongleur."
