Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

like smoke

Tina Stewart Brakebill

memories held tight

‘til like a viper they rise

unfurling like smoke

I’ve been largely AWOL this past month for various reasons but I’m trying to reengage, so thanks to the following for inspiring me to do a bit-o-thinking and writing.

Shout out to my always favorite haiku challenge at Ronovan Writes and to the MLMM photo challenge. The photo gave me mood and Ronovan gave me words. (I substituted viper for asp and rise for jump, but you get the idea.)

Steve the Pig

Dreaming of freedom.

Thoughts of bacon are banished.   

Steve drifts out to sea.

Thanks to Three Line Tales for this wonderful reason to write this haiku style short tale about pigs (which I love).

Short version instructions include

  • Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
  • Link back to this post (& check the link shows up under the weekly post).
  • Tag your post with 3LineTales (so everyone can find you in the Reader).
  • Read and comment on other TLT participants’ lines.
  • Have fun.

Happy three-lining!

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

he waits

Tina Stewart Brakebill

in silence he waits

his heart captured by her love

faithful till the end

It wasn’t my intention to double up prompts for this challenge but both images conjured similar feelings for me. As if they are two warriors on opposite sides of a battle, patiently waiting for that moment when they’re released from their assigned posts. Hoping, against all hope, that love will be there to welcome them back.

So thanks to Sadje for keeping the What do you see? challenge alive. And thanks to Sue for the always fabulous Write Photo Challenge.
