Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille
A Troiku is based on a haiku (the sleigh) and to create the “horses” you have to take the three lines of the “sleigh” apart and use every separated line as the first line of three new haiku (the three horses). Troiku isn’t easy, but it’s really a joy to create it.
Shadows in the moonlight
Stars hide behind clouds
Winking like fireflies
Shadows in the moonlight
hold each other close
even after the dawn
Stars hide behind clouds
like shy children
hoping to be seen
Winking like fireflies
a hot August night
beads of sweat
aka, The Abject Muse 
Tell it like it is
