Here’s my attempt at a Six Words Poem:
“Comet of Regret,” by Robert Lee Brewer
Last night, I laid my head on a pillow
& listened to the rain hit my window
as the wind threatened to make the trees break.
In my last dreams, you answered when I called
even when the summer fell into fall
& I owned all my bittersweet mistakes.
