Happy New Year to you all. 🙂 It’s taken me so long to write my first post of the year. I guess I was resting my mind but I come with good tidings! Happy to inform you that my troiku was the winning troiku in a Troiku Contest organized by Kristjaan Pannerman, host of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai (CDHK) and Michael Smeer of Haiku Pond Academy on Facebook. The contest was to create a Troiku based on the late Jane Reichhold’s haiku below:

golden shade
under the redwoods
evergreen violets

© Jane Reichhold

And to honour my win, Kristjaan has featured me as a special guest on his blog today. Please visit his blog and read all the wonderful things he has written about me. 🙂

Below is my wining troiku based on Jane Reichhold’s:

golden shade
where my pillow rests
a slice of sunlight

under the redwoods
a worm burrows deeper
into itself

evergreen violets
a butterfly seeks rest
on the gravestone

Carpe Diem Universal: Rising Moon

Autumn, Jane Reichhold, love, Moon, romance

Done for Carpe Diem

Inspired by Jane Reichhold’s tanka below:

oo old for new love
the moon rises each night
as I remember
the backseats of strange cars
it’s helpful light afterwards

Rising Moon

rising moon

spreading iridescence

and confetti

autumn’s breath

over our entwined  bodies

Haiku Rhapsodies, Jane Reichhold, Nature, Publication, Stones

Done for Carpe Diem and Haiku My Heart

(In memory of Jane Reichhold)

Stones

spring

when dancing flowers bud

among stones

2

etched in stone

words sparkle with the spring

her last wish

3

much beauty

‘Neath the ugliest stone

If we look
