Billie Jama Poet Haiku

Hiku: souk, smoke and prayer beads

souk cloaked in perfume—
   s m o k e sways through the hanging
                b                                                   r

                    a                        a   y                    g

Lin Lane May 24, 2025 at 2:27 AM Good morning, Billie. I never hesitate to read your posts in this form. You are one of the few that create it wo that my eyes follow your drifting, spilling words easily. Hope your weekend is a fine one. Lin Lane May 24, 2025 at 6:17 AM I see the edit. Thanks, Billie. It flows. Billie Jama May 24, 2025 at 5:57 AM I had a typo reread it when you can please Lin Lane May 24, 2025 at 2:47 AM I could picture you in the marketplace and see it all through your eyes. Dyslexia is not a hinderance to your writing skill, Billie. It may be a friend. ;-) Billie Jama May 24, 2025 at 2:31 AM Thanks Lin. As someone who has dyslexia, I always aim to make it autistic yet easy to read. This is inspired by my homeland us have the last few hiku's.
