Eleven Words - One Poem: Elfchen

[Deleted member 33052]

Sustaining
The unsustained
Holding close the
Despairing child. Loving the
Unloved.

 

[digger]

Unloved
The last
To be chosen
Is often the most
Deserving

 

[Deleted member 28403]

Deserving
Of what
All the abuse?
Or love that never
Was

 

[digger]

Was.
Past tense.
I'm to focus
On what is now.
Deal

 

[Deleted member 29920]

Deal
The cards
Let's play Switch
Now, no cheating, mein
Daughter

 

[digger]

Daughter
The label
I like least
I wish I wasn't
One

 

[Deleted member 29920]

One
One two
One two three
One two three four
One

 

[digger]

One
One Two
He said, One
Two Testing One Two
Testing

 

[Deleted member 29920]

Testing
Times ahead
Trying to write
To my friend in
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

 

[digger]

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
My son
At that station
Aged five or six
Memories

 

[Deleted member 28403]

One
Cj, tired
From pushing optimism
And trying so hard
Counting

Whoops

Memories
The past
Still haunts you
Even after all these
Years

 

[digger]

Years
We trade
For our fears
I don't want to
Count
