Done for Carpe Diem. The challenge is to write a troiku based on the haiku below by my very self 🙂
empty calabash
reflecting the fading sun
a beggar sits in gloom

Troiku
empty calabash
reflecting the fading sun
a beggar sits in gloom
empty calabash
no sweetness
in the beggar’s life
reflecting the fading sun
the penny
in his calabash
a beggar sits in gloom
watching the pennies go by
fading sun

Done for Carpe Diem. I couldn’t resist again and here I am. 🙂 This time my fellow Ghanaian friend and prolific Haiku poet and reviewer, Nana Fredua Agyeman has been featured on Carpe Diem. Nana’s haiku below is the source of inspiration today.
looking at the sun
for a silver coin –
roadside beggar
My attempt in the same mood and spirit!
fading sun
shadows the beggar
empty bowl

roadside beggar
empty calabash
reflecting the fading sun
