From the first moment I learnt what an Haiku was, I totally fell in love with this form of poetry. The requirement for precision, and a deft reference to differing or conflicting ideas is for me a very interesting and challenging exercise. And being a lover of nature, I enjoy making observations about the environment, human behaviour or experiences using a simple but beautiful form of art. So, I will be sharing with you below three Haikus I wrote, just for the love of Haiku, and an extra one written by a friend – it’s actually still my best Haiku so far. Enjoy!
The pillar holds forth
Amidst the noise and rumble
Of a thundercloud
It beats me like rain
How the wicked man prospers
While good men bear pain
Dry wind passes by
Carrying with it cold and dust
In the harmattan
And for the extra one below, written by Adaobi Chukwudi, you can thank me later. 🙂
A baby laughing
Red Maple in its splendour
Makes life worth living.
Enjoy your weekend!!!
