morning breeze -
dew from a flower
moistens the earth

...

murky pond -
the dew drops on the lotus
different shapes


FUSION HAIKU © gillena cox
all the dewdrops
will eventually roll off
into the pond


TROIKU: DEWDROPS © gillena cox
all the dewdrops -
sparkling diamonds on
flower and leaf

eventually rolled -
into the potted earth
dewdrops nourish

into the pond
waters merge -
no more dewdrops
