remembering summers (troiku)

reminiscing
chubby little fingers
building castles

reminiscing
summers in Maine
long ago

chubby little fingers
sifting
magic fairy dust

building castles
make believe kings and queens
in the sand

daisy of passion
surrendering sweet nectar
hummingbird’s bliss

daisy of passion
dancing in the wind
free spirited

surrendering sweet nectar
giving is more pleasing
unconditional

hummingbird’s bliss
symbiosis in nature
pure intimacy

Since today is World Suicide Prevention Day, my writing today may attempt to spread this awareness.

swaying
posing like a star

sunflowers
casting shadows
shading old wounds

swaying
seeking the light
from dark places

posing like a star
yet, hangs on to dear life
falling leaves

Haiku Horizons Prompt: Shade

on stubbornness (troiku)

(c) Clr’16

a troiku

you say black
forever trapped
dogged old ways

you say black
another may say white
same old debates

forever trapped
dead
before your time

dogged old ways
life’s diversity
lacking shades of grey

standing by her mate,
yesterday’s secrets scream
caked with Maybelline

standing by her mate
poised
submissive

yesterday’s secrets scream
not a soul can hear
driving her insane

caked with Maybelline
years of practice
hiding his fury

praying for the south (troiku)

waiting
like a numb caterpillar
news from the south

waiting
imagination
runs wild

like a numb caterpillar
my heart
stops

news from the south
hoping
prayers are answered

laughter (troiku)

long ago memories
lighthearted and free spirited
always made her smile

long ago memories
pretending to be so confident
trembling in her skin

lighthearted and free spirited
if only she’d caught this virus
life is beautiful

always made her smile
belly laughs
set her free

melancholy (troiku)

troiku

melancholy
stalker of the night
daylight smiles

melancholy
familiar and comfortable
holes in my shoes

stalker of the night
shadows
larger than life

daylight smiles
shimmering
on a puddle

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai – Writing and Enjoying

never-ending road (troibun)

©http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.ca/2017/09/carpe-diem-1248-ending-road.html

Journeys have their tales of trials and tribulations. Each crossroad offers choices. Each obstacle offers a challenge…a lesson to embrace.

(troiku)

walk on
broken bridges
through dense fog

walk on
never ever give up
this boundless road

broken bridges
unlike shattered dreams
just a turning point

through dense fog
the Tea Pot
leads the way

A Troiku

a thousand and one
rocking in her mother’s chair
memories

a thousand and one
I love you’s
never overstated

rocking in her mother’s chair
wishing
she were here

memories
storytelling and laughter
by the riverside
