Poetic Cat’s Got My Tongue
Come learn to write Elfchens – short, simple and fun! Capture those simple thoughts – also read Celaine’s “You’re invited: Elfchen Poetry Potluck”
It’s National Poetry Month, but have I written any poetry? Sadly, no. I’m forgiving myself though and blaming the cat. Figuratively speaking, of course, since I’m allergic to cats.
Once again, it’s Elfchens (eleven-word poems) to the rescue!
The idiom, cats got your tongue, has some disturbing literal origins, and for those reasons I will let readers dabble with them on their own. https://allthatsinteresting.com/cat-got-your-tongue.
For my context today, I’m taking the childhood silly saying to mean, I have no words right now.

Fear of Failure
Falling on your face
is sometimes a vital part
of your learning process. If
you have not failed, you
haven’t tried. Creativity

Fear stifles; success brings
more success. Go for it!

Each morning

flowing from this pen.
Who puts them there
while I dream sweet dreams?
Water Flow
Drop by drop
Dew cascades down the leaf
Onto the thirsty ground
Drop by drop
My tears glide down my cheeks
Tracing my heart’s pain

Sunday Poser # 25
Welcome to week # 25 of Sunday Poser
This week my question is;
Are you easily embarrassed and what embarrassesyou?
I was much prone to getting all embarrassed and hot under the collar when I was younger. As I may have mentioned before that I tend to commit a lot of faux pas, so it carried from there that I ended up in quite a few embarrassing situations.
Like I would utter a remark that was best left unsaid, or comment in a way that it came out all wrong. I was also quite ignorant of social norms and would do things out of sync with others. In these situations, I would get very embarrassed on the inside, while trying to appear cool on the outside.
But as I have grown older and wiser ( hopefully) I have learned not to pay that much attention to what others are…
