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?
We also nominate for awards, including Best of The Net. All submissions are considered for publication in our print mag. For more weekly inspiration, check out 100 Word Wednesday, too.
Read other entries and comment on others. Most importantly, this is a positive forum for feedback!

The moment he awaited so long finally arrived.
The scene was perfect: beneath moonlight he said “I love you.”
He blew it all.
May I please ask what is Ink in Thirds policy regarding poetry and/or images made by AI?
We do not accept or encourage the use of AI in any of our accepted work.
the payslip covered just the rent
what’s left of the flour wasn’t enough
a crevice – the bedroom where she slept
the cutlery of my life
picked out of the drawer
as and when

In Fall seeds died but dared despair,
died knowing that a whispering air
will plant them where new to-be roots will know Spring.
Love the ” dared despair”, Damon.
Dusk filters in place, I glow with grace,
remaining seeds now shun the spin.
I’m exactly where I need to be.

“I glow with grace” is beautiful, Teresa.
Thank you Ewan 🙏
