This challenge was to creat a fusion haiku using the two haiku by Chevrefeuille, and then create a Troiku from the fusion we created. Here is my attempt.

melted water drops
dancing in the summer sun
crystal between rocks

melted water drops
trickle between the rocks
mountain stream
dancing in the summer sun
welcoming the solstice
wedded rocks
crystal between rocks
like hidden gemstones
melted ice
