gathering flowers
unexpected guests
come to dinner
gathering flowers
to put on the graves
of the departed
unexpected guests
hungry ghosts here now
wanting their dinner
come to dinner
you cannot complain
you gave no warning
~Jane & Cie~

Notes:
The "sleigh" part of the Troiku was created by Jane Reichhold (1937 - 2016). The three "horses" were created by me.
For some reason, the line about gathering flowers reminded me of the spooky short story "The Hills Beyond Furcy" by Robert G. Anderson, so what followed was a story of uninvited ghosts.
I'm dedicating this poem to my pal Ghost Town Grover, who resides at the Grover Hotel where my son and I will be moving once the venerable old structure is up to code. If you'd like to follow along with our misadventures and maybe lend a little support to our efforts to renovate this historic building, visit us at the Good Stuff from Grover blog!
fascinating interpretation - and absolutely brilliant last line - very unexpected!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-)
DeleteInteresting response!
ReplyDeleteNever let it be said that I am boring.
DeleteIt might be true--but never let it be said! ;-)
Awesome ... It's a joy to read this Troiku. I like how you got such a "ghostly" story inspired on the haiku by Jane. Well done.
