Fourteen years old,
Story untold
I fell in love with Charlie,
And he nerded
As never before
I still make coffee
For two,
Watching quietly
From every door frame
Grumpy olf soundman---
Needs to love too,
Strange namr,
Transparent shame,
Instant fame
Sold belongings
Become Itinerant
Poetry librarian,
Semi colons;
I use them to excess
Supported the sublime
With uncurbed---
Enthusiasms
Changing mind postponed
Demise by decades,
Later-life serendipity
Led to Authorland
I was born some assembly
Required,
Anything's possible with---
An extension cord
Cried,
Defied, denied,
Sighed,
Died,
Reapplied,
Mistakenly kills kitten,
Fears anything delicate

Some of my favourite "six-word" memoirs. I have the book that Smith Magazine had edited and tbh, I'm enjoying the company.
Just a little challenge for myself as I formed the best memoirs (for me) into a whole literary. Yay!
