Getting to Know Me - a collection of six-word memoirs

Faith
Often in fits and starts, believing.
Sometimes falling into abyss of doubt.

Myself
A unified dichotomy of two selves.
Tongue, knife-sharp, softened with age.

Reading
Zealous lover of other people's stories.
Surrounded by books, millions of words.

Politics
Conservative Republican looking for liberal affection.
Big government will never regulate me.

Most Importantly, Dogs
Healthy grieving? Tell me you're joking.
Life's too short to live alone.
In my tale, plenty of tails.

  1. Hi Debra,

    Wow, those are some of the most striking six-word memoirs I've seen in a while!
