crackling  leaves
like children on the playground
spreading their joy

crackling leaves
crunching beneath my feet
singing their goodbyes

like children on the playground
autumn wind
whistling through the leaves

spreading their joy
naked branches welcoming
long awaited sleep

Daily Moments – giggling leaves  (Troiku) October 30, 2016

We are inspired by the beautiful words of Kala Ramesh at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai:

seeing the whole
blossom contained
in a seed
I look up to the sky
with all the stars

illusions ride
on a fast fading rainbow
somewhere there
I let go of my childhood…
I must have
© Kala Ramesh

I’ve written a Troiku inspired both by Ramesh’s words and the photo below.  To know more how to write a troiku which is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille, check on his website here Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

autumn of life (troiku)

[…] “Last evening I was looking out from my balcony and saw a sparrow perch on a branch. All of a sudden, with a quick jerk, she ruffles her feathers and spreads out her wings – her bodyline on an upward curve, about to take off.” […] Kala Ramesh

clouds make way
end of a long quest
heaven opens up

clouds make way
sparrow takes flight
first fallen leaf

end of a long quest
scent of Givenchy
still lingers

heaven opens up
scent of Givenchy
an angel awaits
