Unreliable Narrator

A narrator, reliable or not,
should still deliver something of a tale:
so be it of a land that time forgot,
or a mundane affair, he must regale
his audience with brevity and wit,
omitting needles words but keeping those
that matter even just a little bit.
Remembering to plot and juxtapose,
while banishing a hero here and there,
their absence timed to make the heart grow fonder,
and I'd suggest, especially, beware
of failing to maintain a sense of wonder.
When all is said and done, the work complete,
don't hesitate: hit save, and then submit.
