Elflock
Elflock: a lock of hair, fancifully regarded as having been tangled by the elves My Connection: I have very fine hair that tangles easily. Therefore combing and brushing out matted hair has been a constant routine for me since childhood. I think it would be quite fantastic if those terrible tangles were the work of sneaky mythical creatures. There's something about making the mundane magical that makes me smile, so I hope this poem inspires a grin or two.

All those friends... Your life is prime" ': He radiated his energy, gifts, and time' "Her baby, her beauty— She's the luckiest mom" ': The 9 months were rigorous than a storm'
