New & Award Winning Haiku & Afriku from Adjei Agyei-Baah
5 New Haiku
by Adjei Agyei-Baah
1
Harmattan fires
the forest crackles
in tongues
2
evening star —
a drop of dew falls
from the web
3
refugee camp
beneath a flying kite
a cross of hope
4
household barrel
the secret bathing
of the moon
5
Kilimanjaro —
in tourists' conversation
Fuji comes and goes!
roasting sun
the egret's measured steps
in buffalo shadow

10 Haiku from Afriku
by Adjei Agyei-Baah
1
drought--
the farmer digs
into his breath
2
season of migration
the lightning dash
of a late egret
3
full moon
the scarecrow watches
its own shadow
4
Harmattan winds
crossing the border
with leaves
5
roasting sun
an egret’s measured steps
in buffalo shadow
6
leafless tree
lifting a cup of nest
to the sky
7
dry savanna
the dotted castles
of anthills
8
dawn rivalry--
a muezzin
and rooster
9
deserted shore
the wind sharpen its voice
over a conch
10
all that remain
of a lost tribe's story--
scratches and scars
