night rolled away
the street-sweeper’s broom

A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Your endings in first stanza add some peaceful expectation, in second – even more chiming ..~ beautiful work.

Thanks so much!! I was up early writing with less than 2 hours sleep so I had that pre-dawn mood…new neighbours buzzing my door:( at least I got a lot done.

Two nice completions in which you have caught a few “old fashioned” morning habits.

Days started at a slower pace then. I commented on your “looking back” twice because the troibun inspired the first haiku…here is the link if you want to see it http://wp.me/p2RsU0-2qQ Thanks for all that you do, Krstjaan.
