angelic vibrations (troiku)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haiku, Troiku 1 Minute

I was inspired after reading Magical Mystical Teacher in “Door”.  When I saw that photo, my heart was drawn to it since I love doors and my mind wandered to a place a few years ago attending a recital in an old church where this amazing musician allowed her fingers to float over her harp like an angel of grace.  And so I used MMT’s last haiku as the Troika which is the sleigh, the base haiku from which I am starting to write this troiku

Noxious vapours flee
at the sound of harp and lyre—
the old door trembles

noxious vapours flee
each new breath
heavenly sighs

at the sound of harp and lyre –
celestial visions
pull my heart strings

the old door trembles
coughing exaltation
 I shudder

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

  2. I really like what you’ve done here, Cheryl-Lynn: pulling my poem apart and putting it back together again with different glue! I especially like the cough you gave to the trembling door. 🙂
