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

troiku formed from fusion haiku

holding its light
even the rocks hold sway
under its brilliance

scooping up a handful -
the night sea ripples
cool over my hands

moon over the water -
driving home to their future
the new bride and groom

Her choice is breakfast. Options given were a cheque or we do something together. Spa, movie, lunch. My how time flies when one is having fun. But in between there are so many questioning days, am i doing this right. Schucks! there is no manual for this. Parenting is a gutsy affair. You feel, you sense, you pray, you love, you hope for the best.
