“Poetry is
what gets lost
in translation.”

~Robert Frost

.
Troiku*
.
my world rotates
what can the eye and mind see
between black and white
.
my world rotates
time goes to black history
white is the future
.
white is all colors
what can the eye and mind see
black is the absence
.
technicolor dreams
is living only visual
between black and white
.
ME and the Boss
.
* A creative alteration of the original Troiku form.
In this form the first stanza shares the first line of the origina haiku.
The second line is the middle line of the second stanza.
The third line is the last line in the last section.

Oh My!!! ‘Troiku’ that is like a tongue twister for the brain – my brain feels like it’s doing cartwheels – fun! I’m going to have a go at that, once I stop my head spinning!

Wow, that explanation really had me analyzing. How extra challenging that is! And superb how you kept the theme throughout without being redundant.

The first 3 lines (starting with my world rotates) is just awesome! 🙂
