Quotes / Six Word Memoir - Poetic Life

Interesting idea. It embraces a certain sentiment about writers of poetry.

This is a decent effort, and not at all “shoehorned.”  The fact that your words scan to a defined rhythm helps them along and dovetails well into the message.  As a matter of philosophy of writing, I agree with your statement.  Also, you have succeeded in packing more into this very small suitcase than what the words, themselves, convey.  While it speaks, though, it doesn’t “pop,” and with all of six words available to offer the reader his “ride,” and all the legions who are likely to jump into the pool with their offerings of six words, that “pop” factor can be the difference between success or failure, between something that changes you in some small way and something you forget as you turn the page.  That probably means looking farther from the beaten path, to come up with something striking or exceptionally evocative.  I get the impression you’ve got it in you to explore that successfully, and it might bear you fruit to try.

Ok, “A gentleman’s poetry tells many tales.” What are you trying to say ?If you are suggesting he has an open heart than i get it.But it is to vague.Adding words will make it a little more clear .So keep trying

I kept it at six words for the special URBIS opportunity involving six word memoirs, but yes I understand what you’re saying and it is vague.
