Three Line Thursday

#TLT Use the hashtags and share on social! #comelaydownink
Use your imagination. Poetry, Haiku, Senryū, Free Verse, Prose, and Flash are all welcome. (Please do not graphically use excessive profanity or overtly disturbing mental images. Let’s use common sense.)
One word per line—fine. Ten words per line (max) works too. It counts as long as it fits in the comment box in three-line format. Simple, right?

Pretty. Flimsy. consider the seed of a Thousand Year-Old Yellowwood tree –

fingers reaching down

a seed would touch this bare earth…

Gorgeous, Misky!
I cast my soul to the air
a heron who lands in a salt reed marsh
and I stare at the rising moon until morning

A rising moon – the only way to spend the night!
