May your life have poetry and your poetry, life…
Three Line Thursday remains 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.
- DO NOT include the prompt word.
- 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: Mums

Love and Ink,

While others slowly fade
You burst forth
In quiet explosions of color

A neverending embrace
Sometime comforting
Sometime suffocating.

bending with the wind they do not break
strong, like my children, they are stalwart
enduring their colours remain long after frost

Again you forget

Blooms on the tongue of a savage flame

I like the sense this gives of autumn’s ridiculously unrestrained plentifulness… (not sure if that’s a word!)

They spent their lives looking after us,
Some had even survived World War Two,
Almost without a single word of complaint.

Great, Steve, (Not sure about ‘without a single word of complaint’ though. That Mum must be a saint!)

Thanks, floweringink. I often wonder about nature, which can be stunningly beautiful – often in very tiny ways. What is that beauty? Is it in the thing itself or does it come from us and the way we perceive it? (lol! ProfoundThoughtsЯUs…)
