Hello everyone and a warm welcome to PART 3) of the entries for my weekly: “Fiction in A Flash Challenge 2021.” Week #30.
Today I’m featuring a contribution by Gwen Plano.
Last week I set the following Challenge:
Hello everyone and welcome to my new “Fiction in A Flash Challenge!” Each week I’ll be featuring an image and inviting you to write a Flash Fiction or Non-Fiction piece inspired by that image in any format and genre of your choosing. Maximum word count: 750 words.
Here’s the image prompt and the contribution by Gwen Plano.
My response is a Tanka poem, syllables of 5-7-5-7-7.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. The NEW Image Prompt for #Week 31 will go up later today.
