Colorful breezes,
Hornblast heralds battle’s hue.
Blood flows in the sand.

Thank you to Sonya of Only 100 Words for coming up with Three Line Tales.

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.
  • Read other participants’ lines.

Please check Sonya’s post Three Line Tales – Week Eight for detailed instructions.

    Ooh, nicely done indeed! Some very clear images – and you had a similar idea to mine, too! All those pennant flags, waiting to go into battle. Fab

      Thank you very much! Yes, there definitely was a medieval look to all those pennants.

        Definitely. But then, my mind naturally swings toward the past at the best of times. Ah, give me a time machine and I’d be happy 🙂

      Thank you very much! These flags felt very medieval to me for some reason.

      1. Melinda Kucsera Avatar

        Yes they do, or rather, my favorite Ren fair is usually festooned with colorful flags 🙂 So I see the connection.
