We are asked to form a haibun by adding a haiku to our host’s beautiful narrative; after writing one haiku, the image and moment had more to say so I wrote a troiku instead to be true to the experience I had reading this narrative. Shall I call this Tale & Troiku? or Traibun? Perhaps our host can help me with this for I find myself writing a troiku with a narrative more often than naught.
A walk through the forest on a summer day. Birds are praising their Creator with their fragile voices. A warm breeze caresses the leaves, bringing them to a higher level of consciousness. Their rustling makes you relaxed and one with nature. Far away sounds of traffic making your experience even better. Then you walk onto a bright sunny spot in the heart of the forest, a plain spot of grass mixed with all kinds of colorful (field) flowers and there in the middle of that spot, you find a crystal clear pool with the most beautiful colored water-lilies. As you walk closer to the crystal clear pool you see a pair of deer. “Wow”, you think. “What a surprise”.© Chèvrefeuille
my morning mantra
echoes midst nature’s splendour
a doe beams
my morning mantra
chanting in the forest green
birds accompany
echoes in nature’s spendour
soft ripples on the water
a symphony
a doe beams
genuflects on spindled knees
a tear on my cheek

Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille at MindLoveMiserysMenagerie
A splendid prayer of praise for nature.
I vote for traibun. But since you created the form you should get to name it!

Well Chèvrefeuille created the troika…so I will wait…but it does fit well, I think.
