Chime Justice Ndubuisi Poet Haiku

Five Afriku

1.
A bird on anthill
A little boy
A stone on the ground

2.
Prideful, I couldn't ask
For her name and phone number
Now she's gone, I'm regretting.

3.
In your dream
A python is chasing you,
You couldn't lift your leg?

4.
In your dream
You are falling, suddenly
You grow wings and flies away?

5.
The sun
Rising and laughing disdainfully
Forgets that somewhere dawn's waiting.
