Six-Word Stories

Can these be responses to a prompt at dVerse Poets Pub on open link night for poetry? They're only six words each but they each tell a story.

Nurse
first, poet,
writer after retirement.


Fast
car, blind
curve took all.


66
years but
loves sexy undies.


His
sneer tells
all, leave now.



Left
behind, her
too little self.



Decades
married, she
loves him newly.


Dogs,
they're all
he relates to.

These were indeed inspired by Karin at ManicDDaily who was herself inspired by Luke at Word Salad: The Poetry of Luke Prater who has a great article on micro-fiction six-word stories. I was familiar with the six-word memoir project and wrote one a couple of years ago: Life, my ancestor-in-training course. Luke put his in the above format to be more like poems. It's fun, try it out.

Six- Word Memoirs

Have you heard of the online Smith Magazine Six-Word Memoir project? I hadn't until recently and I've been reading their incredible collection in categories of all sorts. It, of course, got me thinking about what I would write as my memoir if I was limited to only 6 words. I've had a good time selecting, discarding, rewriting. I'm sure the memoir will change as I go along but it captures what's now.

Here's mine:  Life, my ancestor- in- training course.

What's yours?
