Fatal Touch
in languid sashay
the dry haze kisses the trees
brand of fatal touch
searing clouds and foliage
Harmattan in finest hour

Done for Carpe Diem. Juxtaposition is key to successful haiku. The contrast of two images, items or ideas in haiku is most often instrumental in creating resonance. The challenge is to write a haiku bringing out the contrast.
Harmattan Breath
Harmattan dawn
gently swaying the leaves
warm breath on my neck

On Carpe Diem we are trying out a poem based on the Fibonacci sequence where the number of syllables in each line must equal the sum of the syllables in the two previous lines. So, start with 0 and 1, add them together to get your next number, which is also 1, 2 comes next, then add 2 and 1 to get 3, and so on. The Fibonacci sequence is: 0,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21
Poetry: 1 syllable, 1 syllable, 2 syllables, 3 syllables, 5 syllables, 8 syllables, 13 syllables, 21 syllables and so on .. Not an easy form, but it’s a challenge and fun!
Haze
the
haze
slowly
seeps its way
across the north-east
gradually sashaying inland
kissing foliage and then making love to waiting clouds
the cold and dry breeze welcomes the birth of Harmattan singing ‘o come all ye faithful!’
