A double-elfchen written to participate in a poetry prompt from The Skeptic’s Kaddish W3 #54
An “Elfchen” has a set form of 11 words, the lines having 1-2-3-4-1 words, respectively. The first word is the topic and the final word is often a commentary or summary. The two elfchen are supposed to present opposing views.
Seriously, though — is there an opposite to Daffodil?

I’ve photographed some here lately.
We’ve all known those salespeople, Sally! Well written indeed. ❤

Thanks, David. It was so hard for me to think of something opposing a daffodil. Daffodils don’t invade my space the way an over-zealous salesperson does. They simply exist — and, to me, they are the happiest flower.
Hi, Sally ❤
Just wanna let you know that this week's W3 prompt, hosted by our beloved Punam, is now live:
Enjoy!
Much love,
David
Thank you so much. I’ll try to write something again this week!

Cleverly executed elfchens. Loved the personification. Loved all. Great photo too.
It really IS my cluttered workspace! A greenhouse brings us fresh plants to brighten it up. I LOVE the daffodils.
One of my favourite flowers so uplifting just like your poem 😊
Aw, thanks. They’re are definitely one of my favorite flowers too!
Nothing like a daffodil smile to brighten a gloomy day! 💞
Daffodils are some of my favorites! Nicely done.
Thank you!
💛 Ah, daffodillies! They are the beauty at the centre of contrasting purpose and reaction in your poems. 💛
That exercise forced me to try to look at daffodils differently. They’re actually one of my absolute favorite flowers!
💛💛💛 mine too!
Love the contrast, Sally.
Thank you!
You are welcome.
