June 2nd, daily moments at White Rock, BC. – nature’s au revoir (troibun)

She walked uptown and managed to get to the top of the hill without panting too much. She was quite proud of that fact although she was also wise by pausing now and then. She could feel the muscles pulling at the back of her thighs and knew if she lived here within a few months she certainly would be in better shape. Yes, perhaps she should take the stairs more often going up at work. Starting this week she made a mental note to do this.

By the time she returned down to the beach, people were walking along the pier to get a better view…

blends of amber
smudging layer on layer
warms twilight sky

blends of amber
rocking softly
on the water

smudging layer on layer
soft strokes
painter’s brush

warms twilight sky
radiates from golden star
nature’s last farewell

Daily moments June 3, 2017 – golden rays (troiku)

Image may contain: sky, cloud, ocean, outdoor, water and nature

golden rays bleed
pure joy lifts above the clouds
through blue canvas

golden rays bleed
making faces glow
streaking blue skies

pure joy lifts above the clouds
hearts beating
lovers hand in hand

through blue canvas
artwork changes with each puff
gusts tense the jib

A Troiku is a new haiku form created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

shedding (troiku)

I decided to write a troiku out of my previous haiga; a troiku is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.

 

secrets
hidden in sombre clouds
waiting to bleed

secrets
ancient stories
silenced

hidden in sombre clouds
shame, guilt and pent up rage
emotional storms

waiting to bleed
purging all the suffering
to let in rainbows

Daily moments – May 29/17 peace (troibun)

Compassion is the foundation of peace.” Amma

The old woman toiled in her garden for days, her heart filled with such hope…

Planting seeds
deep enough
free from foul play

Planting seeds
filled with love
forming strong roots

Deep enough
as a love struck poet
versed with compassion

Free from foul play
only white doves
spreading world peace

Rose petaled room (troibun). Daily moments May 27-17

The hall was immense and the mood expectant. Hushed chatter all about was the background sound with the occasional exclamations and hugs of recognitions. Everyone was gathering in parties of two’s, five’s or more. It was hard to see who was alone since “loners” smiled at many faces here and there.

The tension was mounting and the hushed sounds became like clattering plates in the kitchen of a cafeteria.

She was in this city for the first time and longed to see her favourite Rock Star. You know the type of music to your ears that moves you? Do you remember your first encounters with “outstanding” and “rocks your socks off”…hmmmm?

A bell sounds and there is complete silence…the musicians are in place, the fans and VIP fans await…

Blessed
with her presence
the crowd fell silent

blessed
the room filled
with her fragrance

With her presence
transcending
a mother’s love

The crowd fell silent
numbed by her radiance
only hearts beating
