Writing prompt for tinywords 16.2
Lone Tree in Fairy Lake, by Jean Beaufort
Sometimes, a picture can trigger words. An image elicits emotion. This is a guiding principle behind the writing of haiku. And perhaps other short poems. While we continue to accept regular submissions for the next issue of tinywords (16.2) through the end of August, we invite you to get lost for a little while in this photo of a lone tree in Vancouver Island’s Fairy Lake, British Columbia, Canada.
Put your best effort(s) in the comment box and we’ll select what we think is the best of the best to start the new issue 16.2 due out in September.
Meanwhile, it’s still the height of summer, or winter, depending on where you are. So get out and enjoy the season. Each has its own pleasures. Oh yeah, and submit to tinywords. Thanks.
All Best,
The Editors

Undisturbed by the ripples
Whole body breathing

Memory roots us
Between a rock
And a hard place.

we shred our divorce papers

Lone tree midst the lake,
it's each leaf worth five poems
I write, what price then
