emerge come up come to notice come into the light unfold
My word for 2022 is emerge as was kindly suggested by a cormorant on my year end morning walk. In the spring of 2020 my love for writing poetry emerged. I am curious to see how it will unfold.
Writing and reading poetry has become a great joy in my life and I have decided to write (at least) 111 elfchen poems in 2022, that is two every week and one eleven day elfchen series. I did a year end series in 2021 and 2020.
Feel free to join me using #111elfchen22 .
View all my poems here on my website or here on Instagram.
Poems can tell stories
you are no dancer teacher said after one class disappointed girl in another life graceful dancer on the floor now sidelined, watching
