A to Z Day 5 Letter E:
Ergotising Elflocks
On sandy dune by the sea
my daughter was ergotising;
her golden tresses whipped by wind
the elflocks were revising
her decision to omit the braid
to keep her hair in line.
In just a few more minutes
strands would form into vine.
Over sand I rushed with comb,
her brush and hair ties, too.
With encraty she sat real still
As through her hair I drew
The teeth of comb to tame that knot;
A daunting hour's endeavor.
Still, essorant hair with braid and bow
won't stay that way forever!
