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

things that make me smile (troiku) CDHK

TROIKU

song of a skylark 
echoes from heaven’s meadow 
wind in my hair 
 
song of a skylark 
even robins stop to listen 
sweetens the air 
 
echoes from heaven’s meadow 
imagine her lip-singing 
mes chères mamans
 
wind in my hair 
one dove in-flight, startles me  
heart skips a beat

This TROIKU is a new form of haiku created by my mentor, Chèvrefeuilles at CDHK

French translation of Dove is Colombe which is my late mother’s name 

Written to the prompt on my mentor Chèvrefeuille at CDHK Carpe Diem #1648 skylark (hibari)

    I love the rhyme in the last lines of the first two haiku, Cheryl-Lynn – was that intentional? Birds singing and on the wing make my heart skip a beat – wonderful creatures!

      No it was not intentional at all! I was going to change it since haiku are not supposed to rhyme but the word just fit.

    What a wonderful Troiku you have created with the haiku I gave. You make me blush with your kind words Cheryl Lynn. I am glad to see you again at CDHK.
