True words Skye I like how you seemedto make real meaning with a few words. Too bad but that is how it is today.
Excellent work. How have you been?
Much love,
Justmade.

skye, I like this, but do not understand the middle two words unless it is a typo and should be "got expelled." In any case, I wish you well in the contest..

    Thanks for the review and comments. Your support is appreciated. No typo. The Engel v. Vitale decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1962 prohibited state-mandated prayer in public schools classrooms. I feel prayer and God need to be in all places. That is my opinion. Thanks.

    Aha! It makes perfect sense and is even stronger than I thought. Thanks for the clarification.

A very strong message represented it your six words but you have an achieved maximum impact with them. I'm old school so can remember God in school, [before school diners, and always at assembly].

Be-twixt and be-tween. I liked this little poem as it said it all in a few words; you really did need the photo for readers to discern comes in many forms, pregnancy is a huge graduation to adulthood and a special field of learning. Choices and God won the day. Good work.

Hmm interesting. Not sure though what it is you are trying to share here, unless you mean In High School God was not allowed into the curriculum and when He was removed all manner of things took place, namely in this case, teen pregnancies and the like. If this is what is meant, then it is well presented, but if not, I apologise. Thanks for the sharing and many blessings to you

    Thanks for the review and comments. Your support is appreciated. Your shining stars made my day. Here is one of the reasons I feel strongly about prayer in school... The Engel v. Vitale decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1962 prohibited only state-mandated prayer in public schools classrooms. When it was no longer allowed, look at what has happened.

    I agree one hundred percent with your view. God should never have been removed from the schools and everywhere else. If He had been taught in schools when I was a child, I may have learned about Him earlier instead of at the age of 33 years, and my children would already be instilled in Him and so would many others, and maybe if we truly acknowledged, honoured and respected Him even the world would be a better place. Many insightful blessings to you

Well, i think this is a brilliant attempt to say something meaningful in a few words.The subject is a book, which the writer apparently intends to describe.It is very prosaic, but the reference to fantasy vs.reality makes it catchy. kudos.

An excellent and creative way to speak your opinions. My older daughter goes to a catholic school, so I see what you mean, however, I think there are many who rather keep the religion and schools separate. I like your statement, very open and to the point. Good luck in the contest!

Great pic and theme chosen for this 6 word story; nothing to correct of course; couldn't agree more with with the author notes at the bottom; they kicked out prayer and now the kids are shooting up the schools :-(

well done, best wishes in the voting booth!

    yes, have got it for a long time; frustrating that it was allowed to happen too and now appalling by what the kids experience; Blessings on your day, Tricia

hmm I really am not much for reviewing these short, short pieces. I mean, first thing I noticed was that your author notes were longer than your work hehe. As is this review so I'll leave here with a "good" job" and leave behind "five stars"
