Carpe Diem Special #154 Afriku, haiku from Africa, an idea
of Adjei Agyei Baah. "Stones"
Challenge post:
..... have another wonderful haiku poet from Ghana, Africa, for you this month as our featured haiku poet. His name is Adjei Agyei Baah and his is the co-founder of the Poetry Foundation Ghana. He has "invented" the (as he calls it) Afriku, the haiku from Africa.
Yesterday Adjei emailed me to ask me if I would publish his haiku (afriku) at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. Of course I was immediately enthusiastic and we had a little chat. It's a great honor that I may use his haiku for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai.
Here are his "stones"-haiku/afriku which he would like to share here at CDHK:
shoreline pebbles...
a reminder of how far
we have come
preparing
daddy's delicacy-
taking stones out of gizzard
stone temple
leftover boulders
add to reverence
