My First Elfchen

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes

My Dear Friend, Chuck, over at The Reluctant Poet has been nudging me about my writing.  I’ve been in a bit of a writing slump lately and Chuck suggested that I try the poetry form of Elfchen poems.  Elfchen poems consist of just 11 words constructed in a particular format.  Below is my first attempt.  I hope you like it.
Love
from you
not just today
but for all time
cherished.

      1. So, Do you have a name for this that is appropriate for your verse besides – My First Elfchen?? Your words whispered to me and said they think they deserve a real title? Ha!! Don’t forget you next elfchen. You can write one on the way home from work??? Try using the vocal recorder. If you phone doesn’t have one, you can get a free one on the app store.
