The prompt for Carpe Diem Weekend Mediation #54 Crossroads Crystal Brook (troiku) starts with two haiku by Yozakura to be used to create a “fusion” haiku, which is then to be the base for a troiku.

crystal clear water
memories of a loved one
water lily glows
crystal clear water
flowing and unstoppable
from past to future
memories of a loved one
reflection bringing comfort
waking to sunlight
water lily glows
clouds of no significance
to captured sunlight
A troiku is three haiku, with each of the three lines from a suggested haiku as the first line of each haiku in the troiku. It’s not always possible to have a 5-7-5 format in the second haiku, due to the limitations of the suggested haiku. The name of the form is derived from “troika,” a sled or carriage drawn by three horses harnessed side-by-side, an iconic symbol of Imperial Russia.

When it’s a process that’s not familiar to the reader, such as a fusion haiku or a troiku, a diagram can make it easier to follow.
