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 Heavens taunt us.
Ignoring Babel’s lesson,
we will pierce the sky.

Shopping, wrapping, stress…
It’s only worth the trouble
because of your smile.

Divorced from Nature -
ignore her, go our own way…
She’s still part of us.

Round and round we go.
You can choose which ride to take
but not when it stops.
