Embrace Shortness
I’m five feet nothing.
That’s short.
But, I embrace shortness.
It’s fun!
However,
No one ever says
I’m beautiful
That’s reserved
for the statuesque.
But – cute?
Yup!
“Cute as a bunny”
“Cute as a button”
Belly button??
It’s not just people and buttons and bunnies that are sometimes short.
Your temper can be short.
No one embraces a short temper!
I came across a short today…
One that I want to embrace:
It’s an invitation to a short story –
Really short –
Six words!
https://figmentsofadutchess.com/category/six-word-stories/
On her post, Marion Driessen
invited her readers to try it…
try writing a six word story.
Oh, I discovered later that the invitation
was posted on Posted on .
Do you suppose it still is valid?
I’m going to try it…
just a short trial.
I can embrace the fun of it…
Even if it is out of date!
She challenged her readers,
“Write a story about SUPERSTITION in just six words.
Let a photo or image inspire you to write a story.
Or first write the story,
and then make or search
for a picture to go with it.“
Then she suggested,
“Publish your Six word story on your own website/blog
and paste the link to that post
in a comment to this one here at Figments.
I will include your contribution in this post, forming a list of stories.”
OK… here’s mine!
Black cat crossed my path –
Doomed!
Yup, I’m doomed!
No way this short post
is gonna end up on
Marion’s website.
But, oh well,
it was fun anyway.
My blog is all about
spreading HOPE.
We can hope, can’t we?
You wanna try a six word short story?
Go ahead…
just for the fun of it!
Embrace Shortness!
