Franz Marc – Blue Horses – Oil on Canvas – 1911
Equine sinew brushed blue
midst dawn’s flushed
hush
A trio of fury
muted blue
grace
one new moon night a star fell from the sky
upon a twinkling diamond dusted trail
enchanting all who gazed into her eyes
one new moon night a star fell from the sky
an angel sent from heaven in disguise
eternity in flesh, piercing the veil
one new moon night a star fell from the sky
upon a twinkling diamond dusted trail

A Triolet – ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines with eight or ten syllables per line.
like a thousand diamonds
shining in sun
is a garden dressed in mist

This is for Haiku Horizon’s weekly haiku challenge, prompt word “Key”.
Did you know that their are quite a few meanings and applications for the word “key”? It can be an instrument that unlocks something, a guide for reading symbols on maps, or a guide to colours and symbols used in a data chart, graph, plot or diagram or something that directs one to the answer of a test, riddle or to the solution of a problem. It can be a sandy island formed on the surface of a coral reef, a type of coupling used to transmit rotation between a shaft and an attached item in engineering or a piece of information that controls the operation of a cryptography algorithm. It can be the name of a person, place or company. With all these options to choose from for my haiku this week I thought I would have a little fun and combine three meanings in one 5-7-5 verse! I give you the sad story of Mr. Key…😊
Poor old Mr. Key…
retracing his steps would be key
to finding his keys!~kat – 31 July 2016
gilled spore-stuffed buttons
stinkhorns, puffballs and toadstools
fungus among us
poisonous night blooms
danger lurks in the hollows
fungophobics know!
mushroom clouds ascend
when unchecked power descends
peace lies in ruins…
