In boring darkness, everyone lit up.
Writing Challenge: Write a six-word story
- Thread starter Louanne Learning
- Start date
Shhh. Want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Let me whisper in your ear.
Say the words you long to hear.
I was so much younger then.
The idea was to taste life.
Today you're up, tomorrow you're down.
Lies that life's black and whiteI am older than that now.
Beware: one foot in the grave.
In life, he was a renter.
I told you I was sick.
But we had music, didn't we?

The idea for this six-word story came from a post in my inbox this morning, from the Marginalian. The site offers "pop-up" poems. The one that popped up this morning seems appropriate for some of our recent posts here!
BUT WE HAD MUSIC
Right this minute
across time zones and opinions
people are
making plans
making meals
making promises and poems
while
at the center of our galaxy
a black hole with the mass of
four billion suns
screams its open-mouth kiss
of oblivion...
