That’s No Way to Wash a Dragon
I been thinking.
Flash fiction that’s
not fiction.
A bit more than a haibun.
But not exactly, and
illustrated with
medieval manuscript
illuminations from
The British Library’s
Medieval Manuscripts Archive,
and
the French National Library.

why not? The beauty of the platform is we publish what we want.

Publishing is easy; it’s attracting and maintaining a readership. The effort without anyone reading (or enjoying) it, is my concern.

Isn’t fiction just invention? Not sure about what the flash means. Quick? Maybe quick to read rather than quick to write. Fiction in a nutshell takes careful folding. Haiku are normally not fictional. Their charm, for me, is the poetic summation. The ikebana arrangement of wisdom into 3 sculpted floral lines. I think I have found a poem.

Haibuns are factual, and in its pure form, nature based. We all take liberties with that. 😂 Flash fiction is prose, a story, fiction or non-fiction, and shorter than a short story. So, yes, colour, line and mass are a good analogy. So I’m thinking of a paragraph or block of prose, with a 3 line haiku-ish finish. Does that sense?
