Written for: Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #117 the cold night
“This weekend I will give you a nice “fusion-ku” challenge, or “crossroads”. That nice special feature in which I ask you to create a “fusion-ku” from two given haiku. Your “fusion-ku” you have to use to create a Troiku.
Here are the two haiku to create your fusion-ku with and create your Troiku:”
spring snow
purifies earth and heaven
our enemies perish
© Mizuhara Shûôshi
the cold night
comes out of the stones
all morning
© Jim Kacian
Here is my attempt:
Fusion-ku:
the cold night
purifies earth and heaven
enemies perish
Troiku:
the cold night
watching breath in puffs of white
reach the stars
purifies earth and heaven
night of icy silver
snow fall in fat flakes
enemies perish
we cannot find them today
in avalanche
