6-word Memoirs: A Great Idea?

Have you heard-- six word memoirs?

Larry Smith edited, book published 2008.

Loving brevity challenge; rigorous to fulfill.

Concision compels writers into pure focus.

Nothing superfluous stays, remove choking fluff.

Wordiness, be gone! Six words only!

No flab, beyond lean, pure bones.

Nerves raw, pronouns gone, what’s left?

Six word memoir, beginning to panic!

Six words ain’t enough, memory overflow.
