sambrele ontvou                             umbrellas unfold

onder wit peperkorrels --                  beneath white peppercorns --

grys lourie se roep                          gray lourie's call

    Ek is baie bly dat jy besluit het om haiku in Afrikaans te skryf. Ek geniet die verskillende moontlike betekenisse van hierdie haiku .... al is een van die betekenisse is deur my gunsteling lol - nommer twee laat val uit die lug. Uitstekende!

    wow, you made it just like two sides or opening of umbrella. well, you know what I am trying to say. So clever!!! I dont' know what it has to do with lekers, but I sure like it. And yes, i think if we ARE what we WANT to be, we are close to being perfect!!(not sure about those women that want to be bitches though. hahaha)
