impressionable moments (troiku)

giggling children
abandoned park
echoes timelessly

giggling children
smiles planted on their faces
no concept of time

abandoned park
savouring
the silence

echoes timelessly
that very first
moaning glory

time (troibun)

Walking to work is just after lunch for most people since she starts her work in the afternoon. She tries to leave earlier than usual so she can take different streets and walk slowly noticing the homes and parks along the way. Of course in winter with ice caked on the sidewalks forces her to truly walk slowly.

(troiku)

snowbound park
abandoned for a season
trees snore silently

snowbound park
smoke curling in the air
scent of apple trees

abandoned for a season
bicycle by the lamppost
gnarled fender rusts

trees snore silently
robin sings softly
a lullaby

Recklessness and miracles January 11 2017 (troibun)

The postman finally delivered Paulo Coelho’s The Pilgrimage yesterday. Paulo was so anxious to meet his guide that he almost gave himself away to the first man he met at the well, a cunning man who offered to find his sword for him. Paulo found that idea tempting so he could return to Brazil and deal with his business. Finally his guide arrived asking him a question which was the password and Paulo responds with the keywords.

under blue skies
blinded by golden star
imminent clouds

under blue skies
under the rubble
children still hide

blinded by golden star
dreaming of miracles
unaware of demons

imminent clouds
providing storms
also lessons

Petrus, his guide warns him to be watchful for there will be more demons along the path. And then his guide gave Paulo a lesson on humility when they were discussing miracles. Petrus explains that the path to knowledge is not only open to intellectuals and thinkers but to everyone including the common people.

vanity clouds vision
on the path of knowledge
the heart sings

Mystical moment (troiku)~ first steps to Santiago

Troiku

ghosts in the trenches
soft breeze from the mountains
watching over me

ghosts in the trenches
whisper deeds of loss
and victory

soft breeze from the mountains
birds singing along the road
to Santiago

watching over me
transcendental moment
spirits show the way

western thought (troiku) daily moments Jan 3 2017

tomorrows
on my mind
how fickle am I?

tomorrows
a lifetime away
infrequent presents

on my mind
musings
living and dying

how fickle am I?
wrestling in vain
empty distractions

Daily moments – Western thought Jan 3 2017 Troiku

blossoms (troiku)

Christmas cactus
blossoming just in time
a child is born

Christmas cactus
boasting with such pride
in living colour

blossoming just in time
hark the angels sing
magi bearing gifts

a child is born
Mother’s face aglow
comfort and joy

you make a difference (troiku)

Sometimes you just have to tell someone how important they are to you…this is what I did today to my colleague/friend, Vanessa.

You Make A Difference

did you know?
you make a difference
in our workplace

did you know?
your laugh is contagious
make us all smile

you make a difference
never ever doubt
you have a gift

in our workplace
life would be totally boring
without you.

Daily Moments – You make a difference – December 21 2016

This is a Troiku which is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

rings a bell (troibun)

It’s that time of year again. How it comes around so fast some people think. There is barely enough time to get ready for the holidays. And yet, the empty bellies and aching souls live in a world where time crawls like a cunning snake, preying sufferers will just give up.

(troiku)

man in a red suit
rings a bell for offerings
holding a glass bowl

man in a red suit
folks don’t notice a beggar
holding out his cup

rings a bell for offerings
filling bellies at Christmas
‘tis the season

holds a big glass bowl
in hopes for silent gifts
not the clink of coins

The Prompt at Ronovan Writes Haiku is Bells and Ring although, my reflections came up with Bell and Rings.
