An Elfje Quint:
Birds of a Feather…
one
single goose
fast forward flight
wings quickly to find
many
you
single bird
looking for angels
found one, in my
husband
he
single handedly
was able to
take you to dinner
companionably
one
single opportunity
this business trip
allowed for a visit -
family
we -
single unit
spread so far -
as the goose, seek
solidarity

love the term “elfje quint”! really liked how the verses flowed into each other and tied up at the end
That was very thought provoking.
amazing. layered. authentically real yet subtle like a tea ceremony.
I really like this one. Thanks for sharing with us.
Looking forward to delving here and settling in for your longer story verses too.
1st there, 100th here. Thank you.
May we inspire each other.
I can’t say I understand it, but soulful.:)
My mother lives far away, a business trip allowed my husband to visit, and take her to dinner.
No matter how far we are apart, like the separated bird of his flock, we are still family.
I love the way you use this form!
