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!

Seems a luxury
to only fight the demons
inside of their heads.

Off to work we go,
shaming the delinquent sun
for being lazy.

I am missing words:
even with inspiration
sometimes they don’t flow.

You are a big fish
in a pond full of big fish…
Does that work for you?

Closed eyes trap the prayer inside
waiting for release.

To be an artist
just forget what it “looks like”
and draw what you see.
