[Candle in the wind]

This is an amazing collage of word pictures so beautifully evocative.The impact arises from the apparent abruptness of the words and the piercing clarity.No wonder it is so beautiful since it aws inspired by soomething so stunning "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."

I'm a six word story addict, but this is the first time I've saw six word poetry. You've done a great job with these, I love them all.... You inspire me too, maybe I jump in and try a few!

Something I have never tried Phil, but am inspired to try now.
A good selection and each tells the story. I love War -- Bullets fly, men die, mothers cry - it give an immediate truth of what war is, and no matter which side you are fighting for, mothers will alway cry for their sons ( and daughters)

I think Love also hits the mark as a complete little story from beginning to end.

I Love Insanity - as a pure statement it hits the spot. I sometimes think that is all that keeps me sane as well

A clever play on words with Call Centre well done.

The others in your selction were all good although to my mind these were the stand out great ones.

Well done Phill.
