A few words of advice from the editor before submitting to TLP.

*Poems must be exactly 3 lines only.
*Three Line Poetry does not print titles to the poems.
*There are no syllable counts. All poetry forms are accepted.
*Lines ought to be short, no longer than 40 characters per line.
*Each line ought to have meaning without relying heavily on other lines to make sense.
*Poems should include poetic elements like simile and metaphor, etc.
*Write thoughtfully and don't submit your first draft.
*The editors don’t care for poems written as a question.
*Editors prefer you avoid rhyme.
*Editors prefer you limit use of articles and prepositions when possible.

Keep the poems short, meaningful, and above all, poetic.
