the short short story

Words have a certain beauty about them. It doesn't take a three-hundred page novel or sixty stanza poem to convey that beauty. Using no more than a paragraph, one can conjure the same power as a book, and require the reader to use just as much, if not more, imagination.

This is not a new literary genre but it is relatively unknown. Most of these are original short short stories. Those that are not are credited otherwise. When I think of new ones I write them.

I've included a lot of poetry and songwriting as well, especially recently. I hope you enjoy it all.
She tells me
there's too much water
in her name
so her fear is high
especially over the ocean
but that's okay
because I've been running dry
and I hadn't even known
until in her rain
and it's a good thing
that I love the rain
I don't mind
taking her name
