Three Line Thursday

What can you say, convey, or express in only three lines? Can you paint a visual picture with only words? Tell an entire story that begs to be read?

#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?

Read other entries and comment. This is a positive forum for feedback!

  2. concerning the Butterfly – one being tortuously usurped by entirely another.
    Pretty. Flimsy. consider the seed of a Thousand Year-Old Yellowwood tree –

  3. fingers reaching down
    sun would shine here… rain would fall…
    a seed would touch this bare earth…
