day ends
sun dips beyond rippling waves
with grace

day ends
glow of crescent moon
last performance

sun dips beyond rippling waves
gentle journey
reaching eastern seas

with grace
and quiet contemplation
savours nature’s gift

    1. Thank you for your kind words. My mentor, Chèvrefeuille, in haiku has daily meme on his site and he created the Troiku from the Russian word troika which means triplet or trio. Check to see the explanation which is quite lovely http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.ca/p/troiku-new-form-of-haiku.html Since I love writing this so much as well as haibun (narrative with a haiku or tanka) I call a narrative with a troiku (troibun). Notice the first haiku…the first line of each succeeding haiku starts with a line from the very first trio (haiku).:) Join us at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai any time you want:)
