In honor of Valentine's Day, let's combine romance with my other favorite thing--writing. And how about throwing in a contest, too!
You know my passion for six-word memoirs. Here are six six-word memoirs I wrote for Valentine's Day:
Chocolates. Roses. Champagne. Hugs still best.
What I love about you? Everything.
Mature love's better than puppy love.
Loves me, loves me not. Does!
Etched our initials on the mountaintop.
He thinks I'm the one. Ditto.

ReplyDeleteKeep them coming, everyone. When I was single, my sixes would have been far different. Lol
ReplyDeleteMore than passion; love is commitment.
ReplyDeleteWord love is overused--actions? NOT!
Love is expressed in thoughtfulness, deeds.
Lust and love are worlds apart.
Want unconditional love? Get a puppy.
Love blossoms only with tender care.
Good ones, Ginny. My favorite of yours is: "Lust and love are worlds apart."
DeleteSo true. Thanks for playing!
