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!

  1. up, where the light is thin, a shimmer of violet
    appears, reflected from the earth, from a place tilled by
    a female farmer

    summer symphony
    today I tune to the fragrance
    of this pale purple haze

  3. I’ll try and write something for this a bit later. i do want to mention I always return to the post to read, like but seldom comment. it seems the like button on my side doesn’t register with the Ink in Thirds blog. I want to assure people I am not being rude, I do read others’ work even if it doesn’t show. Best!

    Now for lavender: brings to mind smell, a field of lavender, farming … lemme see what I come up with.

  4. In another life, I shall be pungent and purple.
    Sun-dried fragments of me shall be scattered about in bowls
    to cheer people up.

  5. Silver-green leaves and purple spikes dried
    and bundled into a remembrance bouquet
    for summery thoughts on a long winter’s day.
