“Night in the Palace” the prompt was “Glass”. I‘ve actually been working on a collection of retold fairy, folk, and mythology tales.

This haiku is titled “Moonsong”. #haiku #grief #loss #poetry #authorsoflitsy #microfiction #shortstory

Titled “No Room”, this haiku was inspired by a Christmas prompt #haiku #poetry #poem #shortstory #microfiction #christmas #nativity #authorsoflitsy

“Origin Story”. Good things come from muddy places. #haiku #poetry #thatmudlife #listyauthor #shortstory #microfiction #flashfiction #dirty #mud #beginnings #originstory

One thing I enjoy about these one-line poems and haikus is the challenge to create an entire story, complete with a twist ending, in one sentence. This one is called Derailed, inspired by the prompt, “silence”. #microfiction #shortstory #poem #poetry #survivor #abuse #murder #thriller #authorsoflitsy

Good morning! How about a shot of drama? #poetry #fiction #shortstory #microfiction #haiku #authorsoflitsy

I don‘t know about you, but I‘m a sucker for those videos of soldiers returning home and surprising their kids at school. This little poem is called “Homecoming” and is meant to distill that fear and relief, the trained brutality and helpless innocence that crashes in together in mighty waves.

Good morning! How ‘bout a dash of haiku to get your day started? These little buggers are deceptively tricky to write, but such a fun challenge. #shortstory #poetry #microfiction #author #litsyauthors #love #romance #haiku #winter
