Six word autobiography


Some blogger whom I don't know came up with the six word memoir. Appreciating the ability to communicate sparsely but in a deep manner/ I can see this as an interesting exercise. Those of us who enjoy poetry understand as do those of us who find bumper stickers an art form. I labored over this for awhile.....a tough task for those of us that appreciate brevity from afar but aren't used to containing our own words. Here is my attempt:



Tears triumph disappointment
Elation sorrow compassion



Anyone else care to try? My brother, Matt, often has trouble being too verbose, perhaps this might be a beneficial exercise for him?
