Pink
The flower
Speaks to me
Words unexchanged in silence
Beauty
Pink
The flower
Speaks to me
Words unexchanged in silence
Beauty
blue
the water
flows so gently
I cross on stones
arrived
purple
the sunset
deep and lovely
creating wonder inside me
heart
Yellow
The sun
Bright as fire
Filling me with resolve
Warmth
Green
The lake
During the day
Reflected mirror of me
Shimmering
Grey
The Bars
Darkness all-consuming,
Yet light creeps through
Hope
In response to the WDYS #67 prompt from Keep it Alive, by Sadje.
Blue
The ocean
During the night
Glistening in the light
Stars
In the event you don’t know, this poem is called an Elfje. As you know, I started writing both haikus and tanka’s recently, and am excited about venturing into another poetry medium with the Elfje.
According to the Elfje rules, the fourth sentence is supposed to be about yourself in relation to the person or object. Though I did not follow that rule in this poem, I wanted to share it anyway, as I liked the way it turned out.
Alright, that’s all for now. Have a lovely Sunday, everyone.
