What is an *“#Elfchen”* ?

*“Elfchen”* is German and literally means “wee eleven”. “Elf” means eleven and the ending “-chen” behind a name or noun gives it a sense of being wee and endearing. An *“Elfchen”* is basically a short poem consisting of exactly 11 words in a specific format of words per line. 

 The rules to write an *#Elfchen* are:

*1st line , 1 word- A thought, an object, a colour, a smell or the like*

*2nd line, 2 words- Describing what the word from the first row does or mean.*

*3rd line, 3 words -Where or how is the word of row 1?*

*4th line, 4words -What do you mean?*

*5th line, 1 word-Conclusion, ....What results from all this? .....What is the outcome?*

 *Note : Eleven word poem again doesn’t mean that you write a quote with eleven words and split it in five lines, every line should have a meaning and should stand for itself.*
