My poem, a troiku, is based on this haiku by Matsuo Basho:
falling to the ground
a flower closer to the root
bidding farewell

Troiku:
falling to the ground
colours of autumn
float to the earth
a flower closer to the root
touching its origin
a new journey begins
bidding farewell
sadness
on the breeze

This is just perfect. I love the image of it returning to its beginnings and contributing to a new future. Goodbyes leading to a new phase.
