Six Sentence Story: How To Write A Love Poem
I told Mark to put a lid on his sarcastic babbling and write a love poem. The problem was Mark didn’t know how (which is why I’m writing this tale). Betty, Mark’s nemesis and master at setting off needless fireworks, was as bad as – no, let’s face it, she was even worse than – Mark.
Who would have thought those two would ever come together since by every natural law on the books you need more than self-exertion to do the impossible. But when the impossible happened to them, in spite of their exercising every option they had to stop it, Mark and Betty got what is called a miracle.
So, all you have to do to write a love poem is let heaven get near enough (like right inside you) so heaven can do through you (since you’re no longer a bystander) what heaven does best: lovely miracles.

Trail: Regent Parkway and Magnolias
This is a side-walk type trail along Regent Parkway in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
Along the trail there are many beautiful magnolia trees which sometimes have white blossoms along with many other trees, some quite tall.
It’s like walking in the woods with a four-lane road on one side and houses on the other.

Six Sentence Story: Don’t Rush Through Paradise
Sometimes it is best to slow down, I told a tall, thin gentleman who was sitting at a table with me at the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro.
Usually it is the fastest way to get anything done right, the gentleman said in agreement.
Of course, those who like to go fast would object, but what do they know? I added.
They know nothing, the gentleman said adding the fourth sentence to our marvelous tale.
After drinking our coffees and eating the croissants I asked him, What should the title of our story be?
He said, Let’s call it: Don’t Rush Through Paradise.

Trail: That Side of the Railroad Tracks
There are trails through the neighborhoods built into the Fort Mill, South Carolina, rolling hills. There is also a railroad track running through them. This trail is on the other side furthest from where we live.
To get to this trail I have to go under the spooky railroad tracks, but there is a pond awaiting me on the other side.
