Chevrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai hosts haiku/troiku prompt. He gifts us with first line: “when every gust of wind.” Each stanza of troiku begins with next line from original haiku.
when every gust of wind
fans bright flames of fire higher
smoke and ashes whirl
________
when every gust of wind
exhales crackles, sizzles, pops
wood door comes unhinged
fans bright flames of fire
higher heat of inferno
old shed roof crumbles
smoke and ashes whirl
choking billows engulf all
inhale acrid breath

I have a proud feeling. It is a joy to read your haiku and to see how you have created the troiku, a creative haiku form I invented, and you did great.

Well done, Lynn. Felt like a whirlwind of flame.

My farmer husband burned an old shed…it was fascinating to watch!

I liked that the haiku brought to mind a cozy fireplace but the unfolding stanzas tell a scarier story of a fire out of control. Nice!
