Six Word Stories Omnibus: Volume Four

Hemingway sawed a cello to death.
Stole a urinal from a bar.

But we don’t have to be.
Behold! The stories below of thee!

GUEST POST // You Know This (Word) by Madam Marmoset (with Tetiana Aleksina & Tony Single)

Labels are not for people
Mores change and fade
No matter how we do it
Twixt the rainbow and the rain

Hear my refrain, hunter
Learn to differ targets
I am not a rabid beast
I am a human free

We’ve lost touch with our hearts
Our identities are rubber stamped
Society dictates our self worth
And we willingly eat the crap

Hear my refrain, hunter
Learn to differ targets
I am not a rabid beast
I am a human free

Whatever you are inside
However your heart beats
That’s where you’ll find your tribal groove
So let’s just call it what it is…

GUEST POST // We, made of paper by Candice Daquin

We
Made of paper
Write our words
In careful ink
Watching how
Underside
Bleeds
***
We
Made of
Fog
Obscure our
Walk forward
In obstacle
And loss
***
We
Made of
Wrung hands
Gather yet dry
Clothes on line
Before rain
Unbidden
Falls in noiseless
Sheets
Turning lawn
Vivid green
***
We
Made of
Incomplete
Stitch
Find no
Substance within
Wicked light
Dashes birds from roost
Darkening impending cloud
Like spilt ink
The words
Of my stained
Radiance
Dried and smudgeproof
With furied
Element

GUEST POST // Did by Pixie Annie

Did you ever stop to think
that the world might not be round
or if pigs can really fly because
I’ve only seen them on the ground

did you ever stop to think
that the sky might not be blue
or if money grows on trees
would we know just what to do

did you ever stop to think
that a heart could really break
or if dogs are really man’s best friend
that we ought to feed them steak

did you ever stop to think
that we forgot how to be kind
or if miracles do really happen
that our greed it made us blind

did you ever to stop to think
that love might not be in the air
or if crocodiles can really cry
that it’s never too late to care
