Poetry ~ Waka
Hot mug of cocoa
Sitting before a crackling fire
Eyelids slowly close
Hot mug of cocoa
Memories of long ago
Scents of childhood
Sitting before a crackling fire
Birch logs burning ever slowly
Embers glow
Eyelids slowly close
Dreaming of ol’ saint Nic
Sleigh bells tin-a-ling

A Troku is a new form of haiku created by Chévrefeuille at Carpe Dieme Haiku Kai
This is written for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku: Slow & Burn
At Carpe Diem Sparkling Stars, our inspirational haiku by Shiki:
when I looked back,
the man who passed
was lost in the mist © Masaoka Shiki
wakeful moments
just mistaken reveries
rolling into days
day after day
lost in a sea of fog
life is messy
old woman
chips away at what was home
lost in whiteout

at café terrasse
underneath
the night stars
that night, they made their promise
forever to love.
