Avalanche!
Rushing snow
Burying the descent
Surging down the mountain
Whoosh

I discovered Elfchens myself recently and really find them fun to do! This is a great one!
Thanks Maranda! Have you shared any on your blog?
Not yet, I plan to sometime soon probably.
Cool! Can’t wait to read a few of yours 🙂
There are so many poetic forms that I am unaware of, elfchen is new to me!
I know… I feel the same way. I try to experiment as often as I can with new forms.
I’ve just written one in my site, I tried to tag you but not sure it worked!
I will tag your site on my post! 😀
Sorted it now 😁 cheers x
Great! Thanks!
Love it 🙂
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words
