at the seashore
small boy with his orange bucket
builds a new world
–
wind of summer through my hair
tells tales of the ancients
in a secret language
–
the shortest night
leaves lovers and dreamers
longing for darkness
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #35 Troiku Challenge “summer solstice”
–
between the wedded rocks (*)
the sun rises to her highest throne
summer solstice
mountain stream
the ice has melted – dances in the sun
crystal waterdrops

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
Carpe Diem Weekend-meditation #3 – Troiku
on the river
lights float to the horizon
the dead rejoice

And here is my attempt at a Troiku based on Basho’s haiku
~
on the river
autumn leaves sail downstream
yellow boats
lights float to the horizon
drifting with the current
fallen leaves
the dead rejoice
in the change of seasons
earth lies fallow
autumn winds blow
bare tree branches tremble
winter birds remain
autumn winds blow
brown leaves scatter across grass
swirling away
bare tree branches tremble
flock of doves gather
at sunset
winter birds remain
searching for leftover seeds
among spent flowers
heavenly scent of
cherry blossoms linger
after her bath
————-
heavenly scent of
plum blossom wafts past window
on evening breeze
cherry blossoms linger
on the winding pathway home
as daylight fades
after her bath
she smooths her moistened skin
with fragrant herbs
