E - Elevenie
|
 An Elevenie is
a short poem with just eleven words in five lines. It is also called an Elfchen. "Elf" is German for eleven, and "chen" is a term of endearment and denotes something small. Each line in an Elevenie has
two specific requirements. First, what words are used: 1 - a thought, object, color, etc. (some instructions list this as just a noun) 2 - what does that word in line one do? 3 - where is that word, or how is it? 4 - what do you mean by that? 5 - What is the result? Second, how many words in each line. 1 - 1 2 - 2 3 - 3 4 - 4 5 - 1

Thank you. I learned about a lot of new forms researching the letters.
DeleteWonderful to learn something new every day. Elfchen seems similar to a haiku. I had to give it a shot.
