Beautiful and not only the poem & sentiment, but learning more about poetry ~ Elfje, very nice. Like the Daisy quote.

Thank you, my dear. You make a fine student. 🙂 The quote. Yeah, I think it helped to remind me that it’s okay to be a dreamer.

A pretty one, Aud. What’s it all about, Elfje? Reminds me of an old song almost like that.

Thank you, Mark. Elfje is a poetic form:
One word (a color, usually)
Two words
Three words
Four words
One word ( of shock value)
An old song? Really? That’s cool…

Dionne Warwick sang it from the movie “Alfie,” 1966, starring Michael Caine. Ballad. 🙂 Now I know the poetic form Eflie. Thank you, Aud.

I will check it out. I like when you mention songs, Chum. You have great taste. I’ve not heard of the movie. Won’t admit to it being a bit before my time. I know the singer and actor well.
