The Tiny Elf
by David Pekrul
copyright 11-15-2005


Age Rating: 4 to 127

  The Tiny Elf
Picture Credits:

I found a book upon the shelf,
And in the book I saw an elf,
Just playing 'round and having fun,
But all alone, without someone.

I know he loves the place he dwells,
With all its magic and its spells,
But he is lonely as can be,
And looks for ways to be set free.

He wants to see outside the book,
To roam around and take a look,
To see what trouble he can make,
While we're asleep, before we wake.

So, with a potion that will work,
He gives a silly, silly smirk,
And plans to leave his book behind,
For new adventures he can find.

Then, from the pages he will peek,
To see if we are fast asleep,
And he will dance around the room,
In shadows of the harvest moon.

And elfin folk will join him there,
With reddish cheeks and golden hair,
And they'll make trouble 'til it's light,
Then hide away until the night.

So, if you look upon a shelf,
And find a book about an elf,
Be careful how you turn each page,
A tiny elf you might uncage.

What an interesting poem you have hear. A great story being told with the use of good imagery. The rhyming was excellent throughout the entire write and it made the poem come to life. I could actually visualize everything taking place from one verse to the next. This is a great one for a childrens book as I am sure that they would really enjoy reading it. Great job putting this piece together.

Yes! You have restored the fluidity by fixing the fourth stanza. You did an excellent job with it as well.

I rewrote stanza four at Roger's suggestion. Let me know if the poem flows properly.

The poem manages to capture the elf-like atmosphere you are trying to create. With clever imagery, you weave a very nice fairy tale, except in the fourth stanza. The rhyming scheme is broken and the fluidity is interrupted. Work on this stanza. I know you felt the interruption...work on it and you'll have a wonderful children's poem!

This is so wonderful in its purity and joyous fantasy. It is well-wrtten and engages the imagination. I've said this before-- that you would be great story writer. I see another C.S. Lewis budding in retirement! Imagine the far side of Narnia inspired by the Canadian Rockies!

You really get in touch with your childish side here, but you do it very well. This one will give many small children happiness. Heck I even had fun reading it! Anthony
