The Tiny Little Page

Here within this mini-series section lies the brief and the minimal, one word being used were once ten were found. And then these few words have been connected together in short and precise strings, brief sentences that curtail and bypass the normal lengthy dialogue, without resort to fanciful expression, so that when all else is said and done, three, maybe four paragraphs make up the finished piece!

A headline topic, three words at the most! A country, a place, a city or a park! A beach, a sea or a river; in other words a name! And then some simple paragraphs made up of even simpler sentences, all constructed from words that describe the settings, the feelings and shapes within the walls or depths of the object under scrutiny. The reader is given no beginning, no middle or end; there is no hysterical build-up or resounding crescendo just a simple doorway straight to the heart of the matter and without waste of precious time!

With these few easily digested words a picture has been built with uninhibited simplicity! The reader no longer needs to file or sift out the unimportant page fillers, to puzzle and ponder over innuendo or to wander about the author's state-of-mind at the time of writing! The reader thus promptly gains a picture, a still image of the place or object being described. A picture that is filled with vibrant color: deeply etched on slate with precise lines and already framed and hanging in position. A picture that does not require discussion and one that is certainly not open to interpretation!
