Flicktions

Flicktions = Flickr + Fictions

This site is a project to post a short story, haiku or other poem every day using the inspiration of a picture pulled from a daily visit to Tad's Flickr Toy.

This is my attempt to get in the habit of imagining and writing on a regular basis.

On days I have more time and energy I might make multiple posts. But considering how much free time I usually have in a day, you'll probably find a haiku. Better a few carefully considered words than none at all.

Feedback is welcome (please click on the text in a post to comment or see the photo in it's full size).

Enjoy!

The shadows lengthen
as the sun sets on the day
and tomorrow comes.
— To all the people who have been following me: Thanks for doing that! This is the 101st consecutive day that I have posted a Flicktion, and I need a little hiatus as things are going to be busy over the net few weeks. I’ll start up again in March. Thanks again for your support.

We can touch the sky…
Place both your feet on the ground,
Find balance, reach up.

the greatest fine instrument

A flimsy border
traps me in my perceptions.
Safe, but ignorant.

Would you treat me the same way

Cannot resist it,
the pull is too strong for me.
It’s sleepy time now.

Are you sure this is what’s real
