100-day haiku challenge, no. 80

Can you dance alone?
Can you sing without music;

rest without knowing?

100-day haiku challenge, no. 71

I must continue to create, perhaps as a counterpoint to all the badness. After the passing of the controversial Kenya's Security Laws Amendment Bill (2014), I feel like a lost bird. So, now I can be arrested for having coffee with three friends?

A confused chicken
Crows after the sun is up.
Confident and lost.

100-day haiku challenge, no. 60

This one is about the revenge of the chicken. I am looking for live chickens to photograph.

      Chicken fat congeals.
      Promises a heart attack –
      the dead bird’s revenge.

Birthday haiku



In friendship’s basket
I find memories, a word,
and season-less love.

Haiku no. 50!

...yes, there is light at the end of the 100-day haiku tunnel.

Today I mended:
a friendship with humble words,
a bent rose with tape.

100-day haiku challenge, no. 40


Today’s rock-star sky
wears gold, silver blue and black;
riches and bruises.

100-day haiku challenge, no. 30



The garden speaks Pink,
shades of Orange, and Scarlett.
Listen with your eyes.

100-day haiku challenge, no. 24



Light, measure the light.
Compose, aim, click, recompose.
Mummify in light.

100-day haiku challenge, no. 20



The fuchsia’s pink skirt
Has been polished by the rain.
I too am refreshed.
