Post a poem in exactly six lines, no more, no less

[Rachel]

A small constraint thread for anyone who wants to write something short today rather than a full length piece. The rule is simple, exactly six lines, any subject, any style, rhyming or not, just six lines and stop there

Constraints like this tend to force a different kind of writing than an open ended prompt, there's no room to wander, every line has to actually earn its place, which can make for some surprisingly sharp, compact pieces from people who don't usually think of themselves as poets at all

Post yours below, and feel free to comment on a few others too, six lines is short enough to read a dozen of these in a couple of minutes
