So it seems our little Throwback Three Line Thursday is a lovely addition to the blog here at Ink In Thirds. I would like to encourage you to spread the word and enter weekly. I will be including some of the poems from the weekly contributions in upcoming issues of Ink In Thirds Magazine, so if you’d like a chance to be published participate weekly. Also if you have a Twitter handle include it below your submission. Happy writing!
If you don’t know what TLT is all about here are the cliff notes:
- Write something that will move us! Inspired by the photo above.
- Brevity is key.
- What can you say, convey, express in only three lines? Can you paint a visual picture with only words? Tell an entire story that begs to be read? Use your imagination.
- No titles. Let’s keep it about the words.
- 10 words max per line. 3 lines.
- Post your poem in the comments and comment on others. Have fun!
This week’s prompt: Placid

Placid is the purple ruptured skyline
but neon is the ascended pink horizon
(there are goals/gods in the ways/waves of light)

feet bathed in lake’s gentle wash
refuge from ugly, sapping reality

Placid are the eyes watching the world go by
Calm waters masking an imminent storm
The fanatic amongst the unwary

gray water accepted the sky’s hues
beneath that calming surface
fish looked up, said “ah…”

that look in your eyes

It lay beyond the horizon,
waiting for her.
Beckoning.

The lake quietly shudders
as something beneath the surface

Like a sheet of glass shining in the sun
With gentle waves gracing the water
Lies the heart of morning’s tranquility and peace

Breathless, calm, motionless.
A day later 400 rowers
Took to the Rio waters.
