As always, I was searching for prompts online and I came across an interesting one. It challenges the writer to create a story and a poem, each using only six words. I decided to attempt this challenge, but write 5 short stories and 5 short poems. I encourage both my dad and my sister to participate in this with me, since it is a short prompt... but one that requires a good brain.
Stories You loved me. I loved myself. Roses without thorns make pointless muses. My better half stopped reflecting me. Reflect your past, and history repeats. You were my lifeboat. I drowned. Poems Headlines are read, freedom is dead. Having no voice, leaves no choice. We tried, hearts lied, truth died. Open your mind, seek to find. Not dead, just in my head. This was actually challenging for me- it's harder than you'd think to attempt to tell a story in JUST SIX WORDS. A lot of summarizing is needed, and then it's up to the mind of your readers to fill in the blanks... so I hope I left you all with something to ponder. I'll leave this post here- if you'd like, leave me your own six-word stories or poems in the comments! I'd love to read them. - Maddie
