The Six Word Memoir is something the people at Smith Magazine began. They've even published a few books on the topic and with entries from submissions they've received. You can find one of the books here. You can also go online here and submit your own six word memoir or read what other people have written. Now, memoir to me implies that it's a piece of writing to summarize one's life but in this case it can be that, or even just the day or the moment.
If you had to write your six word memoir what would it say??
Mine would say: No idea why I'm so lucky.
I do this with my students each year. They love it! They come up with much creative ones, much better than my own.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteMy online group composes haikus to overdue babies to make them come out.
example:
Little Baby Zack,
Stop making your mother hurt.
Come out to the world.
