Have you heard-- six word memoirs?
Larry Smith edited, book published 2008.
Loving brevity challenge; rigorous to fulfill.
Concision compels writers into pure focus.
Nothing superfluous stays, remove choking fluff.
Wordiness, be gone! Six words only!
No flab, beyond lean, pure bones.
Nerves raw, pronouns gone, what’s left?
Six word memoir, beginning to panic!
Six words ain’t enough, memory overflow.

Hey Melanie! What a great thread!
Joyful times and thankful moments: MEMORIES (that is mine. Does 'and' count as a word? If not, I will revise. Of course, tomorrow my 6 word memoir may be different.
elaineR.N. "And" counts, and so true that our 6 word memoir may vary from one day to the next. Fascinating. Someone could write a 365 days of her own 6-word memoirs. But then she'd probably need a looonnnggg vacation.
Six words! Wow - where to start?
edavis Exactly! What matters in the end? :)
isthisthemiddleedavis You guys....
edavis Ha! Good!
"My memoirs must be kept secret." Does this one count? Maybe I don't know how to play. Sorry!
Hugs,
HomeRearedChef Of course you know how to!
I had no idea what I was setting myself up for with this post, but it's been fun. You naughty, secret girl. ;)
isthisthemiddle Wouldn't you all like to know? Am I bad? lol!
HomeRearedChef Oh! You win, Virginia, for the most intriguing.
Challenging, maddening, eye-opening, sobering, brain workout!
Wait, eye-opening one word or two?
isthisthemiddle Isn't that two words? Then again, what do I know! Hey, aren't you the teacher? lol! :)
HomeRearedChef Don't tell my students but what I don't know would fill the ocean. LOL.
isthisthemiddle It's still a heck of a lot more than I know! :)
