Eleven Words - One Poem: Elfchen

[Deleted member 20280]

Trust
my friend,
who holds me.
Even though I am
Imperfect.

 

[Hope4Now]

Imperfect
human being,
that I am,
filled with love and
sorrow.

 

[Deleted member 20280]

Sorrow,
gone now,
my life now,
filled with joy and
Happiness.

 

[Hope4Now]

This is really fun!

Happiness
Fleeting feeling
Wanting to hold
Its ineffable light expansiveness
Lost

 

[p-no]

Lost
In space
In the woods
In thought, in translation?
Wordplay

 

[Deleted member 20280]

Wordplay,
a game
i used to
play in my childhood
Happiness!

 

[Ed Norton]

Flight, the freeedom
the mastery
Like a bird, only better
Flight.

 

[Hope4Now]

Flight
From harm
Imagined or real
It doesn't matter anymore
Dissociation.

 

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

Dissociation
Blessed escape
Keeps me safe
But it's really a
Curse

 

[p-no]

Curse
Or blessing
Who knows, maybe
A bit of both.
Sigh.

 

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

(I am going to use this poem strategy with my students. It's a great end-of-year activity!)

Sigh
A little
sound but it
can mean so very
Much

 

[p-no]

I love it how sometimes it gives you various meanings... i.e. "sigh a little" vs. "sigh. a little sound." etc. :)

"Much
Love, dear."
She wrote slowly
And signed her name.
Melody

(Gosh, cheesy...)
