kusa no ha [ya] ame ni magirenu aki no tsuyu
blades of grass–
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.

Like the humor! Grandpa likes to be remembered in all ‘brightness’!

Thanks, Hank. I had a more romantic ending but then I thought of Issa who sometimes adds humour and the unexpected in his last line. And of course, GrandPapa is always on my mind:) Thanks for dropping by, Cheryl-Lynn
