twilight serenade (troiku)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Chèvrefeuille's Troiku from CarpeDiemHaikuKai, Senryû, Troiku 1 Minute
(c) Clr ’17 Sunset on the St Lawrence

in the twilight
cloud of mist rises
soft moans through the night

in the twilight
swallows nestle for the night
cicadas hum

cloud of mist rises
forming ghostly shapes
over the river

soft moans through the night
golden glow of moonbeams
tangled limbs glisten

At Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, we are inspired by Jane Reichold’s haiku using the summer kigo word “twiling”.  Her verses as well as our host’s are absolutely stunning and any one an inspsiration to write.  You can also start your haiku with “in the twilight” which I chose to do to write my Troiku, which is a new form of haiku created by Chévrefeuille.

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
