Time

Time
Spares none:
A black hole
Vacuum-pulling all into
Oblivion




Elfje is a form of poetry which has its origins in The Netherlands, consisting of eleven words spread over five lines in the form 1-2-3-4-1. The above one on 'Time' is a part of this poem, and one of my personal favourites.

    Not a very cheerful poem, but true nonetheless :) Nicely written as well.
