Clouds no longer form shapes in the sky. All one sees now is grey and greyer. Wind gusts and rain make the trees flap their arms shedding their leaves that are still green! The day is coming and we feel it in our bones due to the dampness, the cold and daunting night of Hallow’s Eve.
stars hiding
behind heavy billows
filled with tears
stars hiding
waiting to shine
on All Hallow’s Day
behind heavy billows
stories retold
of revered saints
filled with tears
dressed as an angel
dropped all her candies

cobwebs hang on doors
everyone plays “dress-up”,
shouting, “trick or treat!
old lady wringing her hands
“well, now my little pretties!”
Dracula next door
handing out bags of treats
children grab and run

decades
of love affairs
reminiscent dreams
Marvin Gaye reminding me
how sweet it is
thinking of you
lightheaded and giddy
breathing in your scent
help me before I fall in love
all over again
melancholy dreams
a case of you so bittersweet
my soul still bleeds

lost among the raindrops
autumn dew

blades of grass
snail crawls warily
in the everglades
lost among the raindrops
heartbroken
a lover’s tears
autumn dew
morning frost glints
like GrandPa’s gold tooth

I have used Issa Kobayashi’s beautiful haiku as an inspiration at Heeding Haiku with Chevrefeuille at MindLoveMiserysMenagerie and decided to use his haiku to form a troiku . A troiku is a new form of haiku created by our host, Chevrefeuile which he explains on his website Chevrefeuillecarpediem.

taking their leave
marveling at the clouds
castles in the sky
taking their leave
an autumn ritual
falling into place
marvelling at the clouds
universal convention
gods united
castles in the sky
angels celebrating
all hallows’s Day

sunbeams
orbs floating
through the window
sunbeams
spreading wide
sunflowers
orbs floating
dancing on their path
coming from the light
through the window
Amma’s loving embrace
my soul opens
*******************
sunflowers bow
in reverence
time has come
sunflowers blow
petals dropping one by one
goodbye tears
in reverence
prostrating
amber leaves
time has come
nature’s well deserved
sleep

swaddling trees in nature’s arms
shields their nakedness

making the sign of the cross
she leaves the confessional head down,
hands clasped together in prayer
kneeling before the Virgin Mary
giving thanks for absolution of her sins
shivering at her nakedness, she prays

smiling at the sky

praying for a miracle
moonbeams heed
standing at attention
