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: Berries

Love and Ink,

so leave those words
budding, beading, bleeding
they were sour anyway

Winter fruit paints
iced branches, crimson.
Like my lipstick on your lips.

Bright red in a winter landscape
Food for small birds
Nourishment for my soul

Red globules cling to naked branches
Like drops of blood pooling on bitten lips
The only hint of passion in a frigid wasteland

That last line is so thought provoking. The measuring of time through sound. Great job.

The blood of our memories clings to winter branches
Saturates the silence
An ache that will never grow dull

While time freezes every moment
Tiny passions are still burning.

It seemed a good idea at the time,
Smearing ourselves with fruit and roadkill,
And making haunting noises from in the barn.

Thank you very much, Susan. I have so enjoyed your writing this year. And this TLT group is very special. I used to think Thursday was the quiet, uninspiring, reliable but not flashy day of the week but with TLT I find myself looking forward to exciting Thursdays and the chance to read great 3 liners from such talented people. Oops I seem to be rambling…
