I wrote my rhyme THE TWELVE ELVES OF CHORLEY WOOD in response to the Happy d’Verse Twelfth Anniversary, Quadrille Poetry Prompt. Hosted by MSDAJELI (btw, mine’s a pint!).
Msjadeli’s Prompt Guidelines Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word twelve.
The Twelve Elves of Chorley Wood (aka the dirty dozen)
THE TWELVE ELVES OF CHORLEY WOOD (aka the dirty dozen) There are twelve elves who live in Chorley Wood They’re evil elves (except one, that is good) They hangout in a gang in an elven den beside poisoned toadstools close by the fen Now Listen. Listen well. Don’t go near their demon dell! Understood? Lesley Scoble, July 2023
