Poetry, in very short form

The Webby Awards have been announced, and the best thing about them are the awards speeches. Normally I hate acceptance speeches, but these winners have to do their speeches in five words. A writing coach of mine once taught me there's a lot of poetry and humor to be had in five-word stories. If you read this year's acceptance speeches, you'll see it's true.

If you like five-word acceptance speeches and don't already read Bossy's blog, start checking her out on Tuesdays for Ten-Word Tuesdays. They're often the highlight of my week.

I feel like it's time for a social hour here at The Modern Gal blog. The Modern Gal soon will be headed for her primary summer vacation. Since she's got it on the brain, she wants to hear all about your summer vacation plans ... in eight words (The MG felt she should pick her own arbitrary number and not copy the Webbys or Bossy).

I'll start:

Ten-hour drive, family reunion; This is vacation?

Now you.
