For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn

Written By Bethany Kohrt

I have been reading microfiction non-stop and am most in awe of Hemingway’s six word microfiction above. So much rich narrative in such a squeezed word count. Why were they never worn, how desperate must the seller be to part with such a precious memory. JK and I talked about my work being more prose poetry than haiku and it is and continues to be. I am artistically rambling but it doesn’t mean that everything I do isn’t significant, it is. There is just a lot of it and the editing will come. I wonder if I will always be a long hand kind of person, why use a single word when a thousand would do. Some editing would be good though. I will continue to write and read about microfiction as yet another creative outlet.

Tom kindly suggested I regard the video, which has been the source of paralysis, as a work of microfiction, which I think is perfect. I will write a little essay about my work in the form of microfiction, a story of me. And then it will just become a video of its own accord once the words are there.
