I read this quote at The Muscleheaded Blog. A lovely quote by none other than Robert Burns. What a nice segeway into Valentine’s Day, non? Must one be in love or in a relationship at this time to be reminded of past loves, paramours and blissful pleasures of the past? I don’t think so. And so I decided to write a Troiku about those pleasure moments that are sometimes short-lived. Now look deeply into that photo as you read into his thoughts:
poppies spread
pleasure tokens prised
I shan’t forget
poppies spread
imprints a mark of love
and then it scars
pleasure tokens prised
precious moments revisits
blushing every time
I shan’t forget
tomorrows shall be laced,
those yesterdays

Troiku a Haiku form created by Chévrefeuille at Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem Haiku Kai – Poppies
When Georgia mentioned this was the theme at CP yesterday, I read the prompt, thought about writing another haiku (which I still may) but liked the theme of forgotten love rather than war in this troiku as well.
