« on: September 05, 2008, 03:34:29 PM »
A number of American writers were recently asked to participate in a project in which one would compose a six-word epitaph. The epitaph could be for anyone, even oneself.



This one by Joyce Carol Oates is majorly cool:

"Revenge is living well, without you."



That stopped me cold. Sometimes short compositions have such tremendous strength.



All this got me thinking of epitaphs, so I wrote:

"In the past lies the future."



He with whom I keep company composed:

"She was the death of me."

(LOL)


And my maternal cousin, a poetry teacher, rosily opined:

"Hopefully things will always get better."



Anyone care to take a stab at an epitaph?

You can use this custom tombstone generator to make your own (but you'll have to host the image yourself).

My personal one for my tombstone:

PLEASE GO SEE A MOVIE INSTEAD.  TeddyR

What I mean by this one is I wouldn't want the person to be mourning me ~ if they wanted to please my spirit, they should go see a movie and remember me like that.  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
