Steve the Pig

Dreaming of freedom.

Thoughts of bacon are banished.   

Steve drifts out to sea.

  • 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.

in the stillness

in the stillness, light

pushing against the darkness

a promise laid bare

Thanks to Sue and her #writephoto challenge and photo.

I’ve been struggling with … a lot these past few weeks. And as I try to dig myself out of my funk, writing this reminded me that I’ll be OK. The light will return if I let it in. (I hope.)

Following the Sun

She planned to go at first light. But as the rays filtered through the slats, she felt a moment of doubt.

No! It had to be now. If she didn’t go now, she’d never go.

Her ‘no’ spun into a maybe until it was a yes. Then she’d be stuck.

Forever.

No!

Now beckoned. She followed.
