In the book “Not Quite What I was Planning” by Larry Smith, a collection of concise, six word memoirs by various writers is presented. For example, singer-songwriter Adam Schlesinger writes, “We still don’t hear a single”. Since Smith magazine kicked off the premise in 2006, these six word stories are everywhere, and fun to do, too.

The game is this: write a six word story describing Robert Plant or his solo music. The story must be exactly six words and make sense. You may write more than one story, but each story must be independent. In other words, you can’t take a collection of six word sentences to make a larger story. The six words alone should evoke some sense of Robertness.
