[This week's Three Word Wednesday prompted us to use gossip, naive, and station. This is an American Sentence using them.]
Gossip turns the naive to cynic no matter your rank or station.

About Me

Inspiration
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
- from the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
- from the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
But never let a good story stand in the way of truth.

Yup, it does. Good American Sentence!

You hit it!

This one made me really sad. I think because of how true it is.
thanks, gautami.
hello, TC. i guess we should treat it as cautionary and not an absolute truism.

thanks, Christy.
absolutely perfect american sentence with a wonderfuly spoken tale...thrz a universal proverb in there i am sure...
thanks, LittleWing.
I love seeing these American Sentences everywhere! A few months ago, I'd never heard of them. Love this one!
Hi, Linda, and thanks. They are quite appealing. They are one shade easier than Haiku because all the syllables go in one line, so you don't have to mess with breaking a word.
Bravo, Sister AE! So much feeling in just a few words. I'm intrigued by American Sentences -- I never heard of them until recently. You have inspired me to give it a try soon.
:)
Hi, Clare. Thanks. Writing American Sentences was the first prompt for Read Write Poem. Take a look at the results from that for a varied sampling.
Wonderful post! I am beginning to like these more and more as I see them circulate. Your statement is very true. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.
thanks, Michelle.
