Point
A sword at me
And I shall
Fight back
Maniacally

Maniac

When tough times
Beat up my mental

Of any individual
Is important
Mine the

Just a (hopefully) gentle reminder - it's meant gently at least...

"Elfchen" is a poem of exactly eleven words (so: a "Little Eleven" :) ). The first line consists of one word only, the second line of two words only, the third line of three words only, the fourth line of four words only and the fifth line of one word only.

And...

The next person would then use the last word of this poem, i.e. "Hugs", as the first word of their own eleven-word poem.

I get that people get different benefits from things, but it's both the interaction, and having the clearly defined rules of elfchen/this thread that is actually beneficial to me, it keeps my head from running away with (or sometimes without!) me because I have to confine them within the bounds of the game.

Just my thoughts, and apologies for the derail.

The smallest
Sometimes the strongest
Think of the tiny

Ant
On top
Of an anthill
Suddenly a big shovel
Slams

Slams
The door
On way out
Hits him coming back
