Carpe Diem Haiku Poem
the scent of autumn
that sweet smell of decaying leaves –
after the rain – stronger

Troiku Poem
the scent of autumn
with twilight lingering on
drifts around the woods
that sweet smell of decaying leaves
moss covered birch trees
beauty of nature
after rain – stronger
smells fill the cooling crisp air
with the gentle breeze

Troiku – Carpe Diem invented the Troiku, it 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.
Don’t know what a Haiku poem is, it is a unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all.
It is created by a vision, and paints a mental image in the reader’s mind.
