FAMILY

Weekly Scribblings #78.  We're challenged to create a form of micropoetry.  I chose an elfchen in honor of a recent trip out of state to be with family not seen since before Covid.  Submitted to Poets and Storytellers United, July 14, 2021.

  1. I like how you refer to them as your people. My brothers are so much older than I am we have never been close. "My people" sounds wonderful, your own tribe.

  3. I can see your smile in the words. The pandemic has taken so much from everyone. It's wonderful to see that we are taking some things back.
