They are a comfort. They tell us someone took the time to fix us up. Sometimes, they come with a kiss.
Bandaid, we wish they could fix everything, don’t we? We run around slapping them on every scrap and bruise like a three-year-old. But in reality, they are not always enough. They can hide the real problem.
Don’t let a bandaid fix keep you from healing. But also, hold dear every kiss they come with.

Love this, especially with the imagery!
Thank you. I really enjoy writing them as way to prime the inspiration pump. Thanks for stopping in.
Yes, I bet! How did this six-word challenge begin?
If I remember correctly it was about a year and a half ago that I was introduced to micro fiction. There were a lot of prompts in writers groups for them. I tried a few and it stuck with me. Now when I look at am image I automatically look for the story there, or the hidden wisdom/reflection.
That is wonderful. Last week, I wrote my first real poem in a long time for a challenge on Twitter. The response was very touching. So this week, I wrote another poem. Hopefully, I’ll keep going with it all, and maybe I’ll add in some six-word stories as well? We’ll see, I suppose!
Go for it! ❤
