Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
-By Linda Lee Lyberg
Eventide shadows
Racing against Mother moon
Barn owl hunting prey
Eventide shadows
Blending tints from day to night
Gloomy night fading
Racing against Mother moon
Timid mice scurry
Innocent victims
Barn owl hunting prey
Striking silhouette in air
Twilight fast falling.

My response to Carpe Diem #1294 Twilight
Many thanks to Charley at Life in Portofino for introducing me to the form and to Chèvrefeuille for creating it. For more information on the form, visit: http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/p/troiku-new-form-of-haiku.html
This is beautiful! And I’ll definitely follow the link to learn more about troiku. I love experimenting with various forms of poetry.

Awesome to see that you have created a troiku. It’s a form I invented back in 2012 and it’s a nice creative way to “play” with haiku. Your troiku is gorgeous and it reads like a story.

You’re too kind to give me the notice. Nice job. It reads beautifully. Chèvrefeuille really deserves a Basho salute for this variation!
