Welcome to Week Two of Three Line Tales. Join in if you want.

The TLT rules are simple:
- Take a look at the photo prompt and write three lines to go with it.
- Your lines can be poetry, micro-fiction, micro non-fiction or just a really long caption – everything goes as long as it’s three lines long.
- A link back to this post would be nice (it’ll make me feel obliged to swing by yours to read your three lines, and some of your readers might want to join in, too – the more, the merrier, right?).
- Tag your post with 3LineTales – it’ll make it easier for others to find it in the Reader.
- Use the hashtag #3LineTales on Twitter or #3LineTales on Instagram if you’d rather not use your blog.
- Read other participants’ lines.
- If you want, post your three lines here in the comments (I think they’d look much better on your blog, though).
- If the photo inspires you to write something longer than three lines, put a link in the comments, anyway – but mention you went over, please.
I’ve tucked away my lines behind the more tag and three * – for those of you who’d rather not read my slant until after you’ve written yours.

Terra Incognita
Here be dragons,
old maps might claim. Adventure,
in other words.
The bridge is sure.
I am not.
But the story continues on the other side.

ooo I like it clcouch123! Sonya, I love yours too. I’ll add mine:
a wood bridge too far
into Africa she strode
her heart’s in the wild.

Ooh, I liked this! Prompted all sorts of weird, Hunger Games-type ideas in my head for some reason. Here’s what I went with – and some very long sentences! Thanks Sonya, this was great to get the grey cells moving 🙂

Thanks, Lynn! Very happy to see you join the fun 🙂
I deliberately refrained from putting any sort of length restrictions on it – if someone says a 50-word sentence is one line, who am I to argue 😀

Not the most modest of outfits, but would leave some interesting patterns behind – you’d look like a baked after a few hours of wearing one of these 🙂

That’s the way it goes sometimes with photo prompts – some don’t do much for you. Mind you, I think yours is beautiful!

Yes, I see that – and I do think it’s good for me, whether it touches me or not. Funny thing is I LOVE the woods and love to hike and love bridges – but this was hard!! Which is exactly what I need. So, there you have it. And, you are too kind! 😉

I really like the short, compact 3 line tales! I should try some time. This week — all rather long (run on?).
Wonderful prompt. Thanks for doing this!

Oh, something to work towards – I’m sure they’ll get shorter.

I am working on getting flash fiction tales to 40 — 50 words. I’ll use the same principle.
