“Is something on your mind, Sister Margaretta?”

“I was just admiring you, Reverend Mother. While I was trying to figure out how to hold a moonbeam in my hand, you found a handsome, widowed, retired naval sea captain for Maria to fall in love with.”

“Thank you. It was one of my favorite things.”

Three Line Conversations were inspired by Haikus. I borrowed the form of three lines, but without the syllable counts. And dialog instead of poetry.
