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: Dreams

i am emptiness, a void
i close my eyes to float in darkness
but dreams turned to nightmares followed me

They gazed upon its shape with awestruck eyes.
Is this not beauty – purity of form – perfection?
Then presently, being satisfied, they melted it and drank.

Desire envelops us with flurries of distraction
Sometimes we manage to hold on momentarily
And find joy before it melts away

it is the cold

It came again last night.
Frozen by the blackest veil –
in choked silence – I screamed myself awake.

Fragile as my dreams,
Love hangs like shards of glass
Cutting through life.

A liar’s vision, the crystalline clarity of the dreamworld
Promising perfection, it freezes you in its clinging caress
A traitor’s kiss betraying you at the rooster’s crow
