Done for Carpe Diem and Haiku My Heart

(In memory of Jane Reichhold)

Stones

spring

when dancing flowers bud

among stones

2

etched in stone

words sparkle with the spring

her last wish

3

much beauty

‘Neath the ugliest stone

If we look

Done for Carpe Diem.

CDHK features a wonderful haiku poet from , Ghana, Adjei Agyei Baah, co-founder of the Poetry Foundation Ghana. Adjei Baah has “invented” the (as he calls it) Afriku, the haiku from Africa. You can read more about the Afriku here. Below are his “stones”-haiku/afriku which he would like to share at CDHK and upon which we are to base our inspiration: I’m pleased to announce that Adjei Agyei Baah will be appearing here as a Guest soon. Be on the lookout for the interview. 🙂

we have come

daddy’s delicacy

taking stones out of gizzard

leftover boulders

add to reverence

Mine

grinding stone

her ebony hue

faded in pepper soup

needle-like structures

in tune with azure snow skies

silent communion

of ageless monoliths in

eternal mystic homage
