Our prompt for Day Twenty-Three comes to us from
Gloria Gonsalves, who challenges us to write a double elevenie. What’s that? Well,
an elevenie
is an eleven-word poem of five lines, with each line performing a
specific task in the poem. The first line is one word, a noun. The
second line is two words that explain what the noun in the first line
does, the third line explains where the noun is in three words, the
fourth line provides further explanation in four words, and the fifth
line concludes with one word that sums up the feeling or result of the
first line’s noun being what it is and where it is. There are some good
examples in the link above.
A double elevenie would have two stanzas of five lines each, and
twenty-two words in all.
