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?

plunging into golden hour
sipping shades of vibrant color
lips kissing to turquoise sea
perfectly poised
she is not alone
her bird-shadow floats beneath her

Karen, this is lovely!
What a perfect image, Karen.
A quick question. Are we only allowed to post one poem for each prompt? This image is so lovely that it begs for more.
Post as many poems as you’d like!
tranquil pond
… an egret wades
through its milky-white
@firdausp
Beautiful and Weightless. Love it!
Mmm, that’s gorgeous, Firdaus.
I enjoy the action, in the wading.
That day in Berkeley,
and again today, the white
bird’s reflection, mine.
I like how this tells a story while not revealing much; let’s the reader take it where they want.
Beautiful!
How l despised you in my youth. But now…
a garden, murmuring insects, the whisper of leaves –
bliss.
@ewanandsmith
And we’re left with the why and who. Lovely story to ponder over.
Ewan, this is so Lovely!
the soft velvet of the night relieved
by a twinkle in the eyes of the owl
the rock pool a haven – for who?
Gorgeous, Petru, with the ‘for who?’ at the end mirroring the sound of an owl.
Very serene imagery. Love ‘velvet if the night’. I can almost touch it.
I want to be in this place, such peace.
she keeps her house well ordered, the sun and trees
watching over it while she stacks stone on stone
as if a thousand years were yesterday.

I love the way that the last line transforms the image, Misky.
I love that last line. Really takes a great turn. Beautiful!
Loving that last line!
sleeping water
obsidian mirror
reveals sacred truths
@LisaSticePoet
Such a powerful sense of peace, Lisa.
I love ‘sleeping water’ . The third line continues its mysteriousness
There is such a beautiful, quiet wisdom in this Lisa!
She waits for sustenence
Eyes eager
Heart empty
@flowerinignk
Oh my goodness, FloweringInk, that ‘Heart empty’. Tissues! I need tissues!
Such a tragic image. Beautiful contradicting last two lines.
