Walking to work she treads carefully on the slippery path to work. Certain areas are covered with a thin layer of white crust that catches her eye and warms her heart.

Diamonds
Beauty frozen in time
Giggling on snow
Scores on a backdrop
Floating in the cosmos
Granting wishes
Dancing underfoot
Despite the freezing cold
Blinding baby blues

sighs of powerlessness ~ Troibun
After snoozing the alarm four times, she rolls over and greets her bff, petting her thick soft fur and whispering “I love you’s”. She then finally rises to the challenge of another new work week. Shuffling to her other bff, she opens the door to the guest room and hears the joyful purrs and meows this unique creature has. Her name is Kali. She runs up to her big, fluffy sister, Bette and is greeted with a hiss. No problem, little Kali seems to be thinking and she runs to her mistress for a pet and then lies on her tummy stretching her front paws about a metre distant from Big Sis and waits for some sign that maybe today will be the day they will play…such a patient little thing!
It is amusing to watch these two felines as she runs a hot bath to oil her old joints and then she moves on to the morning REAL priority: starting the coffee and feeding the cats.
Another week is starting and she tries very hard not think about it. Although she loves the support she offers, she is finding less comfort in the environment which no longer seems to shed enough light. She can literally hear the grumbling from within her peers’ body language and darkness hovering over their heads…
relentless
deafening screams within
daunting reminders
relentless
dark clouds casting shadows
foreboding
deafening screams within
hearing their disturbing tales
smothered in despair
daunting reminders
exhaling melancholy
sighs of helplessness

dreaming of springtime (troibun)
The bitter cold of northern winds sink into her bones. The icy streets on her way home make her shuffle like an old lady. Always fearing another fall, she leans tentatively on her cane.
(troiku)
dreaming of springtime
lilacs and cherry blossoms
budding promise
dreaming of springtime
lovers walking hand in hand
kissing under big oak trees
lilacs and cherry blossoms
a butterfly’s delight
scents of her youth
budding promise
garden weddings
happily ever afters

Dreams (troiku)
Dreams like water-colored paintings

vibrant colours bleed
spilling on green blades
sinking in the soil
vibrant colours bleed
echoing cries and screams
disappearing fears
spilling on green blades
red and green and silvery tints
like dressing up a tree
sinking in the soil
scary images traced with joy
making worms go wild

We are asked to complete the first two lines from Cubby’s poem.
I have completed it with a troiku which is a new form of haiku created
by Chevrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
It is also one of my favourite forms.
Prompt: Reowr – Dreams

Remembering (troibun) Daily Moments Jan 5/19
It’s 1950 something…
She was always a daydreamer ever since a young child. As she grew up she would change the endings of movies she had seen and create different scenarios. Life is like that! Movies hold only one script of a possibility.
Imagine if fathers would clean the house, cook the meals, do the laundry, shop at the grocery store, bring the children to the doctor and tuck them in! Mothers would come home after a long day at work greeted by their husband holding a chilled glass of white wine or maybe a cup of tea.
Imagine if fathers walked the children to school and talked to the teacher when they had belly aches or that boy kept pulling her hair! Imagine if fathers sat patiently at the kitchen table helping children learn their ABC’s!
Such a silly dream she had in the 1950’s but it would have been a nice change to see.

who kissed the boo boo?

Daddy catches her
before she falls
falling down the stairs
someone pushed her
heart aches more than flesh
who kissed the boo boo
waking up to reality
mothers know best

That damn wall again (troiku)
There comes a time
helpers of lost souls
hitting a wall
there comes a time
universe sends a warning
to slow down
helpers of lost souls
sometimes lose direction
maze of great pain
hitting a wall
forcing one to stop
practicing self-care
