Comment from Stephanie Launiu
Love your six-word poem. You stayed true to brevity and made each word count. The artwork is the perfect partner for your piece, and reminds me of many times my mind turned off the speaker while he was still talking. You deserved your place in the contest. Congratulations.

I like this, Chip. In the interest of brevity, that's all I need to say. But the system requires more. Peas and carrots. Peas and carrots. Peas and carrots. That ought to do it. Peace, Lee

Hello Chip
Clever - and very apt. It is so very difficult to write anything on such a small scale, but to do so and to slip in a rhyme (and the irony of the sentiment given the form) - well, it all amounts to great work.
I wish you well with this piece and your future writing.
cheers
