Fun with descriptions in six words

I have to tell you how much fun I am having with this concept! The idea is that you describe something in six words — no more, no less. I started by playing with imaginary epigraphs: what would make for an interesting tombstone to stumble across? (PS — these could be writing prompts, too…)

I had the right of way.

Telegraph brought the pardon too late.

Very friendly, but not quite tame.

Might have been a bit radioactive.

Then, I started thinking about phrases to put in my pocket for times when I need a boost, an uplift, or a smile. (Go big, right!)

She puts the gina in original.

She puts the gina in imagination.

Uncaged, and a spectacular mystical siren.

Enthusiastically naive, but I got this.

Of course, God. And thank you.

And now? I am really enjoying reflective descriptions of daily summaries at the end of each day!

Nothing works when you’re not home.

Could there BE more detoured roads?!?

It’s so fun having Moose here!

Now ask me the right way.

But why is the wine gone?

House siding done, on to electrical.

Seriously, where does the time go?

Amazing visit with awesome, dear friends.

I am really, truly, deeply blessed.

How about you, how might you play with this idea of six-word phrases?
