I find briefness powerful, yet elusive. In the last few weeks, I have taken to trying to cultivate it in my own work by writing six word stories.
It’s an exercise I am enjoying.
Do you write six word stories? Or some other kind if micro fiction?
What form of short prose do you find most impactful? I would love to know the answers to these questions, and what you think of the three I share with you today.

Love these! Simplicity speaks volumes.
Let me have a go,
Lies, white lies, such pretty eyes.
Beautiful eyes, beautiful lies, I’m compromised.
Pretty eyes can be so dangerous can’t they.
You did it better. They are. The eyes can hide as much as they can tell.
Have another go. You were just warming up.
Okay, let’s see….
A gun, her name,Thirty minutes.
Ooooh! Hidden emotion in that one. I like it.
Just saw some of your poetry on Facebook.
I appreciate the interest. Find anything that resonated with you?
