What's your Six Word Story

[MichaelinChina]

that makes comments nice and challenging.


Adding extra restrictions makes for interesting
reading. Also, it forces us to
use words sparingly, when time comes.
It's not mandatory though (24 words)

I gotcha, woops, that's only two
and i can't think what else
to say, except, yes, it does
sharpen up your writing and your
thought processes, suddenly puts a whole
new slant on the way you
put words together that make sense.

Hello Tio. Nice to see you.
What the heck does cadence mean?

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Hello Tio. Nice to see you.
What the heck does cadence mean?

The beat of a military march.

The rhythm of the spoken word.

Were we to include the subjunctive

We would be linking two threads.

The beat of a military march.

The rhythm of the spoken word.

The ticking of a mantle clock?
The throbbing of an inline six?

over head transmission.... Tio, Michael, explain..

 

[MichaelinChina]

Now I know what 'cadence' means.
Time to move this thing along.
Come on Tio, come on cocput
think, think quickly; think, think 'clean'.

Cadences? Yes, and iambs as well,
yet only three feet per line;
for hexameter, there must be six.

The rhythm of the spoken word.

Nothing sounded like the heavy pounding.
