Written for: Carpe Diem #1804 New Beginnings … candlelight
“Today I love to challenge you two times. I love to challenge you to create a “fusion-ku” with two given haiku and to create a Troiku with your new “fusion-ku”. I have chosen two haiku by Jane Reichhold extracted from her online Saijiki “A Dictionary of Haiku”, section New Year.”

Champagne and Candlelight (© photo Isabella Cabre)
Here are the two haiku to work with:
a new year
rising from wild seas
a few stars
filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne

Here is my attempt:
fusion-ku:
candlelight rising
filling the wild seas at night
like champagne bubbles
troiku:
candlelight rising
held high by those gathered
another vigil
filling the wild seas at night
fish flashing by
neon colors
like champagne bubbles
points of light across the sea
lighthouse beams
