Our host, Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, gives us this painting to inspire our writing waka. I have chosen to write a Troiku, which is a new form of haiku created by Chèvrefeuille.

disrobing slowly
winter’s slumber lies in wait
blushing
disrobing slowly
watching with heightened interest
lusting
winter’s slumber lies in wait
calculating
patience
blushing
shades of pink and amber
the old maple tree
