You are correct. I can see his face there beard and all.
What a wonderful place to hide. A well written poem in
iambic tetrameter and abab rhyme. I have a good imagination
for seeing faces in flowers. What a beautiful Boquet. I love the soft colors. Graet picture and poem Tom. Nancy

Thank you Nancy. It was a centerpiece at the party. I love it when I spot them too.

Riches? That little imp disappeared again. I'm looking, but I just can't see him. Do you mean in the center of the flower, a slight hint of eyes and a beard?

I saw the face grinning at me. There sure are impish spirits residing in that bouquet and your poem brings them out with solid imagery. I wish I could reap the riches that these spirits can bestow but alas that's only a dream. Well done, Tom.

TooOOooom...
There's another in the very center of the photograph, too. Orange in color, and eyes in a slightly slanted position, though you can't see his whole face. shhhh... I think MY beastie is slipping up on YOUR beastie. Let's watch and see what 'appens!
Very cool write!! Fun!

Thank you Robyn. They're everywhere. The little rascals.
Comment from Joan E.
Did you create the concept of the Animated Still poetry form? I immediately saw the face in the white flower, and I enjoyed your alternating rhymes in these quatrains, along with the bits of alliteration. I'm afraid our "Elfin King" will "disappear into thin air," but I look forward to your next fanciful character! Cheers- Joan

Comment from Glasstruth
The spirit, whatever that maybe is hard to put a finger on. The second verse is what really gives this poem personality. Very colorful writing, and that chooses not to hide as the Elfin King does. Wonderful writing. Les

Comment from mvbrooks
It's a light, fun poem much like a mini-break from the day--it has a relaxing quality. It's very visual. I hope you get your "riches."
Editing notes:
"Hidden there in the brightest blooms,
Elfin King with mystic powers
Concealed in camouflage costume."
-- blooms and costume do not rhyme--to maintain a rhyme, make costumes plural. This will still fit the storyline.

Thank you mvbrooks. It is perfectly acceptable to rhyme a singular with a plural. Thanks for the input.

just know that the "sound" of the rhyme is interferred with and thereby interrupts the flow of the poem. But if you will sacrifice the flow, then keep the mismatch. In this case, since the plural does not change the meaning, it's a shame not to change it.
