before the dusk
lingering in the cobweb
the last of the light (© Ese)
gnats buzzing over the pond
a frog shocks them with a splash

that cobweb (troiku)
the end is near
oh! that hanging cradle –
cobweb
the end is near
live today – like,
no tomorrows
oh! that hanging cradle
gently rocks,
to a heartbeat
cobweb
holding the mind
hostage

angelic vibrations (troiku)
I was inspired after reading Magical Mystical Teacher in “Door”. When I saw that photo, my heart was drawn to it since I love doors and my mind wandered to a place a few years ago attending a recital in an old church where this amazing musician allowed her fingers to float over her harp like an angel of grace. And so I used MMT’s last haiku as the Troika which is the sleigh, the base haiku from which I am starting to write this troiku
Noxious vapours flee
at the sound of harp and lyre—
the old door trembles
© 2015 by Magical Mystical Teacher
noxious vapours flee
each new breath
heavenly sighs
at the sound of harp and lyre –
celestial visions
pull my heart strings
the old door trembles
coughing exaltation
I shudder

“shady side” a late summer kigo – 30 Days of Haiga -September with Rick Daddario
turning in circles (troiku)
melancholy stage –
casting ghosts and goblins
before the snow
melancholy stage
between lovers
lost in darkness
casting ghosts and goblins
self-pity and delusions
run amok
before the snow –
in all the wrong places
searching for answers

setting sail (haiku)
He had won many trophies in regattas all over North America and yet…
before setting sail
his knees kiss the sand –
crossing himself
