echoes of her son (troiku)

Tournesol CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haiku, Troiku 2015-02-122015-02-12 1 Minute

pins a poppy
looking in the mirror
echo of her son

pins a poppy
children dancing in the street
wonder why the tears

looking in the mirror
ghosts from battlefields
tears on her cheeks

echo of her son
whispering soothingly
I’m okay.

echo of her son
tear not for me
I’m okay

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai “Poppies”

Our host shows us how to write a Troiku (a new form of Haiku) here

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

pins a poppy looking in the mirror echo of her son

pins a poppy children dancing in the street wonder why the tears

looking in the mirror ghosts from battlefields tears on her cheeks

echo of her son whispering soothingly I’m okay.

echo of her son tear not for me I’m okay
