Poetry ~ Waka
Waking up to grey skies, she cannot help but feel there is more to this day then this muted sky. No, definitely, she feels it. Her feline friend does too. Something tangible is felt in the atmosphere she knows will transpire soon…
morning skies
relief is on the way
melancholy haze

midday heat
geese in the water
cool breeze makes me sigh

Daily Moments – At one with Nature
Walking home with her grandson after a wonderful day in the city, she could not help but admire the sky. Once, her grandson was sound asleep, she read about the sad news…such a loss in the world of haiku. And then, she understood the mysteries of the sky tonight.
dash of white clouds
stand out
in the night sky
dash of white clouds
splash of goodness
wings of an angel
stand out
seventeen syllables
more or less
in the night sky
greets an angel with a smile

And then she read this beautiful haiku posted by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, after she had written the above troiku.

In memory of an artist, teacher and poet, Jane Reichhold.
How wonderful to escape in words that take you to places in body and soul. She had downloaded a 5-book mystery novel plus a prequel last week…what a great way to enjoy Civic holiday weekend. Of course some may not be too pleased but like they say, “you can’t please everyone all the time.”

aimless stroll
life without meaning
‘til the sky sang
aimless stroll
going through the motions
searching in a daze
life without meaning
empty and dark
body without soul
‘til the sky sang
stretching
to eternity

Daily Moments July 31 2016 Retrouvaille (troiku)
enticing tansies
I grin at their pompous air
honey bees surrender
enticing tansies
along my stroll through the brush
catch my attention
I grin at their pompous air
each yellow blossom
flighty pom-poms
pure surrender
sipping the sweetness
of nectar

under the moonlight
sisters
savouring last call
under the moonlight
melancholy moment
– just a hint
two sisters
bonds stronger than steel
but, for their master
savouring last call
hoping for one last treat
‘til sleep takes over

Two Second at Ten, Prompt “strong”
The Troiku is a new form of Haiku created by Chèvrefeuille.
Riding on the bus home late tonight she looked out the window and felt a surge of wellbeing.
river in the night
black ink scrolls
scribes to the full moon
letters of gold hues
moonbeams of happenstance
