Son of 6 word story -- 6 (or less) lines of 6 words each

[Sephiroth]

(I loved that one too, yes!)

I used to dream that my
marbles were such perfect little worlds.
Then one day I lost them;
I cried for weeks and weeks!

[Teresa Edgerton]

Fog-bound October, occult concealing weather
Mist presses heavily on the land
Out where the sea lies hidden
A gull’s voice, like a rusted hinge
Pale ships glide into the harbor
Hovering silently, impossibly, above the water

[Talysia]

Memories arise from the very sound
Of rain hitting the ground outside.
As bleak as my wandering thoughts,
It gathers in pools of dreariness.
Grey, clouded skies match my mood.
Why can't I forget what happened?

[Sephiroth]

The semblance of summer is gone,
Cold wind rakes the orange leaves,
Crunching beneath my weary old feet,
As I undertake my final journey.

[Teresa Edgerton]

The rain falls cold and sharp
Piercing my skin like silver arrows
Sheets of water across the land
Huddling miserable in my sodden cloak
I see no sign of shelter




Memories, wistful, elusive, haunt my brain
Every attempt to recall is vain
I was 58 my last birthday
Where did I put my glasses?

[Talysia]

Quicksilver thoughts, here, and then gone,
Rising and popping like soap bubbles.
Unable to concentrate, I sit here,
Pen in hand, willing the story
To emerge fully from my brain.

[Sephiroth]

The bottle uncorked with sudden pop!
Sweet elixir runs through my veins!
Must not move until I stop,
Lest I derail the Muse's train!

[Leisha]

Autumn leaves fall to their death;
The cloak of darkness draws near.
Blankets of white smother the land;
The season of change is here.



The poem's a little early, I know, but in my house it feels like winter already, so I got inspired.

[pyan]

I laugh and I joke
Words written, not spoken:
I post in the threads
Each post's but a token:
I can't let her know
My heart's all but broken....

[Sephiroth]

Warrior in garb of purest black,
Mistress of the frigid, tenebrous night.
Those who dance never come back;
Her deadly steps, one cannot fight.

To dance forever in the gloom,
With Leisha, 'neath the circling Moon.

[Teresa Edgerton]

Welcome Pyan to this our gathering!
We hope you'll join in often.
But do not fear to emulate
The mangled iambs, rhythm, and metre
Of our customary six word lines.

[Leisha]

Times like this I feel alone,
I can see the darkness creeping.
A single thought warms my heart:
Your friendships, they are worth keeping.

[HardScienceFan]

the scythe of marauding ,gutwrenching emotions
the endless noises of grief,auditory assaults
the face contorted ,the heart crushed
to avoid this incarceration of hope
to negate the negative,bring happiness
is worth the time of friends eternal

[Giovanna Clairval]

Sweet dreams that cross the sky,
Over lands and icy waters fly.
Do take him to my door,
A gift for me to find.

[Teresa Edgerton]

Meet me tonight by owl light
In the rows between the corn
The night is wide, we’ll revel,
We’ll ride, further than the moon
You on an old grey nightmare
And I on an oat-straw broom
