6 Word Saturday


I believe it was Ernest Hemingway who came up with the 6 word story idea, or at least accepted the challenge to try and created one of the best 6 worders ever:

For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Here's my try:

Funerals were funny, but not his.

Not as complete as Hemingway's, but its a fun challenge. Quite a challenge.

What have you got?

  2. I'm on this fairy tale haiku kick, so I like challenges like this. I mean, telling a complete fairy tale in a haiku? Let alone 6 words???

    Here's my attempt:

    In demand, true love, no price.

    Castles, made of sand, fall.

    Happily ever after, a fairy tale.

    Prince finds princess, a perfect beauty.
