(5-7-5)
Sun meets the water
her dangerous thoughts linger
cheeks blush like the sky
(3-5-3)
sun kissed sea
cheeks blush like the sky
dangerous
(2-3-2)
sunset
dangerous
cheeks blush

through sunshine or rain-
we wake up in the morning
and start the day new

My flame has gone out
but I still smolder, waiting
to burn once again
I close my eyes. The guilt presses against my skull. Blood pounds the base drum in my ears. I try to breathe, but a noise pulls the trigger and rage convulses out of the monster‘s mouth. Their confusion shines through giant brown mirrors that reflect the ugly creature before them.
tears spill
moments slip away
defeated
hands
press against
my eyes
(breathe)
until the monster
is no longer a giant
and the mirrors reflect
how I want to be

bare branches
a jungle gym for birds
wings all aflutter
bare branches a painting against the blue sky

This attempt at a troiku is in response to Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #31 Troiku … “bare branches”
A troiku starts with a base haiku, then you create three new haiku where each line of the base haiku is the first line in each of the new haiku.
I quite enjoyed learning this new form. 🙂

feet on dew-kissed grass
recharging lost energy
a breath of fresh air
