a light troiku

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.”

Here are the two haiku to work with:

a new year
rising from wild seas
a few stars

filling
the glass with candlelight
champagne

© Jane Reichhold (1937-2016)

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

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
