Litlove has mentioned the six word memoirs which grew out of Hemingway’s shortest novel.
“For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.”
My contribution to the genre was “Wanted to write, I blog instead.”
DavidBDale writes very verbose, yet wonderful novels of 299 words each.
Now there is a new writer of short literature.
From the Mad Haiku blog comes a Haiku version of Melville’s Moby Dick.
The author was asked if he intended to do a Haiku version of “Ulysses”. He replied;
“Joyce wrote Ulysses
in a way that makes no sense
the bane of us all!”

Isn’t the Haiku Moby Dick wonderful! I found it over at loricat’s booknook and also posted it today. So now I can finally say I’ve read the darn thing. 🙂
YIKES!!! I forgot to add the Master Cowfish pingback!

Don’t forget the wonderful and short, “Titanic,” limerick:
A lovely young lady named Rose
Was pursued by two different beaus.
She hated the cad,
Fell in love with the lad;
When titanic went under he froze.
I don’t remember who wrote it.
It doesn’t sound like the great malo

Cybe … no-one remembers who wrote limericks! At least, not if they want to retain some vestige of pride!!!
Anyone who admits to writing limericks has forfeited the last remnants of pride!
