Here’s my Haibun Poem for Suzanne Burke’s Week #14 “Fiction in a Flash” Image Prompt.
The Final Stand
On this majestic mountain peak, we stand against evil. The blood flows below us like a raging river. The air is heavy with fear as we breathe in its hopelessness. Soon, the stars will be seized from us in a swirling cloud of hate. They are writing humanity’s loveless obituary. We must fight.
They came from the stars
Conquest, war, famine, and death
The apocalypse.
Embrace your inner child with love. D. L. Finn
It always amazes me how we all have different ideas from the same prompt. Good take on the photo, Denise.
Thanks, Joan. It amazes me too. I won’t look at any of the other work until I’m done:)
Woah–save us! It does feel that way at times, doesn’t it?
It certainly does sometimes Jacqui 🙂
Oh my goodness, you’ve captured it — the Apocalypse — and I shudder at the thought. May these next months, of prodding through the mud of an election, pass quickly…so we can all have peace. ♥
Thanks, Gwen. Yes, I’m with you I hope the next few weeks zoom by. I’m looking forward to lots of peace!
Wow! That’s a great one, Denise. Strong, powerful, and though-provoking. Well done!
Thanks,. Mae:) this picture took me in a few directions just from the four ..lol.
Terrific, Denise

Haibun with tears of reality! Great take, Denise!
Thanks, Billy. I hope not.
Well done. An interesting and provocative take on the photo.
Thank you Karen. This photo took me in many directions.
A powerful statement Denise! I’ve never tried a haibun…sounds an interesting form.
Thanks, Balroop 🙂 Haibun has been my favorite, so far, out of the ones I’ve tried.
It’s a moving poem, Denise. I hope all is well there. Hugs on the wing.
Thank you, Teagan. Staying safe from the fires here. Hope all is well for you as well. Sending hugs back.
They are writing humanity’s loveless obituary.
Powerful, Denise. I hope it never comes to that {{hugs}}
Thank you Jacquie. I’m hoping the same thing. Hugs back xo
The world seems like heading toward that direction at times, Denise. I do wonderful how these all end. Very powerful take on the prompt. I hope some of us will overcome the seemingly evil ones.
It does, Miriam. I will always believe that good wins over evil in the end:)
