An elfchen (elevenie) poem to accompany my wee bee video.
Rock
shields me
from existential threats
can't unhear their screams
escapism

Margaret at Reflections on the Teche has the Poetry Friday hosting duties.
She shares some bitter sweet Louisiana musings. Join us if you're in the mood.
P.S. Thank you again for the outpouring of love about the passing of my sweet Smidgey. I know she's wagging her tail in heaven. 💗🐾
🪨 on 🦞!!! Glad Lobster’s okay. Thanks for the fun video and elfchen smiles! And I think little screams help with all the chaos out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michelle! Yes, screaming (into pillows - the Swiss don't do well with demonstrative emotions) is very therapeutic. :)
Delete"can't unhear their screams" is apt to the video. Don't you love the elfchen form?
ReplyDeleteYes, Margaret, you inspired me to give the elfchen a try. It's my new favorite, so thank you. :)
DeleteYou go, girl! Love the mashup of video, elfchen, and what animates us!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patricia! I'm addicted to the short video form and now the shorter (elfchen) poetry form. :)
DeleteThat is very funny, also apropos, Bridget! I might look for a rock today. Thank you for the smile!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Tracey! Rock(s) (musically and minerally) help with hiding/escapism.
DeleteBridget, your talent keeps on bringing delightful items of interest to your readers, like me. The video is a smashing hit and your instagram posts adorable. I can't wait for the next installment.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol! I truly appreciate your support! I'm just doing my part to give a few seconds respite for those who need it. :)
DeleteThanks for the fun, Bridget! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose! These videos are very fun to make. And the companion poem was fun to write. I think I've found my jam. (luckily I'm not IN a jam! ;)
DeleteIt's amazing what can arrive in a wee short time, Bridget! Love the visual with the music!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! It's a fun challenge to make such a short form video, but I'm all about wee thing. ;)
DeleteThank you for this poem!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, for commenting. Elfchens are my new favorite form. :)
DeleteFun video and poem. Do I dare say "Rock on, Bridget"? :D
ReplyDeleteToday is a "hide under a rock" sort of day for me, so I can appreciate this more than usual!
ReplyDeleteBridget, I've thought about you and Smidgey so often this past week. Still sending hugs...
ReplyDeleteGreat elfchen, and your escape is pure ridiculous enjoyment!
