Over the last year I've been intrigued by the "six-word story," which has gained popularity, including the 2006 Six-Word Memoirs® project. What about a six-word couplet? This post consists of a total of six different six-word couplets.

Lol. . . Even my simple cover image above has six-words!

Here's the link to my book Six-Word Couplets.
It's a work in progress :)

Birth In the womb In labor, boom! Enabler Her he enabled Now she's disabled Interstellar Travel to Mars Next stop stars Math Test Don't be hysterical It's only numerical Singapore Long awaited summit Ascend or plummet? Unlikely Nexus Hooked on drugs Lack of hugs?

It's fun to visit best poems lists of poets. i don't know that they always capture our best but it's very interesting to get a sense what people have faved of your poetry. I wonder if they have other ways of measuring as well. maybe by how many reads we get with these poems too??

oh my, how did I ever miss these. SO fun, Mark. My favorites were Singapore and Birth. I was born on LABOR day, so I get a kick out of labor poems!! Loved the others too!
