WELCOME to the website!

Nice to see more folks from Africa.

I look forward to reading more of your work!

I had to look up "Elfchen". here is what I found: An "Elfchen" is similar to a Haiku in that it has a set form, however it is unique in that it has 11 words, the lines having 1-2-3-4-1 words, respectively.
