Ah,home again-home means Trifecta :-)My last post was 3 months back!Three?Strike one!It was a Trifextra submission-strike two! And, the title was “Askew”-kind of matches with Haiku,no?Strike three! Ha!ha!Feels good to be back-wonder if any of you remember me?Things did not go as per plan-do they ever?But some beautiful gifts came my way -our daughter did us proud by excelling both in her school leaving exams as well as by securing a coveted seat in one of the most prestigious University here-she placed 5th among 3500 students who sat for the exam and only 30 were selected.She is now happily studying for her English Honours.
Well,to make a long story short,we did not have to move.So what took me so long,you ask?Ah life… but am back and hope to keep writing,though I may not comment as much as before,but will do so whenever possible-that’s a promise.
I see this weekend Trifecta has given us a seemingly easy challenge-the weekend prompt being-
HAIKU (noun) : an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively .
But sadly we were not taught about this genre of writing in school.This is my first attempt at writing a Haiku,so no idea if it fits the bill,but here goes for what it is worth 🙂

Season’s Sonata
Autumn in the heart
Like leaves changing colour
pain morphs.

Good you didn’t learn at school – this is really an amazingly good haiku 🙂
Hi Bjorn-so wonderful to see you & a lovely comment too-u made my day,thank you so much!How have you been?Winning accolades I guess? 😀 My apologies for ot having responded earlier and also for not coming by to read your entry-did not read any of the entries in fact-had some prior commitments but I promise to come by & read your entry this week:-)Tc & God Bless
Some weeks time allow, other time is not there 😉 I write haiku every day on a prompt called Carpe Diem 😉 lots of fun.
Oh U do?I will definitely check it out-I remember long back Yer Pirate had recommended a pg(no idea if it was his)that I try writing a Haibun but it all seemed very difficult to me,so I never attempted 😛 Am still learning so much…
Check out http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com
you’ll find dear Pirate there too.
Aha!Thks Bjorn-just read your Trifecta entry for the week & am overwhelmed-what a beauty!
Just checked the site and am very impressed.Maybe I will try my hand at it too?I have a question-saw that there were 30 word prompts for September-does that mean each word for each day or can one pick & choose any one or two or more?Where can I find the rules to posting & linking back to the host site?Thk u in anticipation
One word per day 🙂 one or more haiku per day.
Thanks-so that means any word can be used out of the list,on any given day?Am so excited on seeing some known names from Trifecta–am at the moment reading entries for CD’s Haiku imagination 🙂
We’re so happy to see you back, Atreyee! It sounds like you’ve had quite the three months. Extend our congratulations to your daughter–that’s quite the accomplishment!
Thank you for linking up! We hope to see you stopping back again!
Thank you so much Trifecta team-am glad to be back :-)Thank you for your wishes for my daughter,she conveys her thks:-)AM surely going to be here regularly-trying to get back into the groove 😛
Atreyee, you’re back…I wondered what happened to you.
Ah you must have missed reading my note-I left a msg for all of u that I would be MIA for 2-3 months due to my daughter’s college admission & possible shift to another city.But am glad to be back-it will take some time for me to get bk into the groove”:-)
Congratulations to your daughter. Nice to have you back.

I smiled a beautiful smile when I saw your name on the list of link-ups this weekend. Congratulations to you and your daughter on her acomplishment. While certainly deserving of her own credit, she must, surely, owe a debt of gratitude to you, her mother. Wonderful having you back, Atreyee! You were most definitely missed. 🙂

Yay, you’re back! I like the first line – autumn in the heart conjures up the feelings of change and sometimes sadness that comes with the dropping of leaves.
