Troiku: a double peony.
Some time ago I wrote a Carpe Diem Preview on a new creative form of writing haiku, the troiku. This post is another try on this new creative way of writing haiku. I love the way how this new form asks me to think about writing haiku. It's, in my opinion, a great way of writing haiku and I enjoyed writing this post very much.
The 'sleigh' is inspired on a haiku by Issa (a classic haiku master) and it was a Carpe Diem Special a few days ago.
pink flowers bloom
between green dewy leaves
a double peony

between green dewy leaves

in full bloom in my garden -
a dawning sun
This blog is about haiku. A classical haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables. Chèvrefeuille (the pseudonym of Kristjaan Panneman, a Dutch haiku poet) however writes his haiku in the Kanshicho-style. In the Kanshicho-style the classical syllable count isn't used. Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), a haiku poet, wrote his haiku in Kanshicho-style for several years, but he returned to the classical way of haiku writing. !!! Anonymous comments will be seen as SPAM !!!.

Peonies
Isn''t it a wonderful flower? The Peony ... so fragile and colorful, but it can also be a big flower when the Peony is a ''double one".
I had to write another haiku inspired on this haiku by Issa:
the peony falls
spilling out yesterday''s
rain
This is my other haiku on peony:
pink flowers bloom
between green dewy leaves
a double peony
Hm it''s a beauty I think.
Have a nice weekend ... see you another day.
