HAIKU
Fredua-Agyeman Nana
|
swaying stalk
the oarsman naps
on a calm stream |
|
| |
|
| |
turning pages—
the night croaks
drown the music |
| |
|
moss and moon—
the same old
broken hut |
|
| |
|
| |
the swift's home
in the wall—
painted over |
|
|
graveyard—
a fledgling flutters
in her nest |
|

Fredua-Agyeman Nana lives in Ghana, where he completed Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in July 2003. He has been writing ever since he discovered poetry in 1998. He discovered haiku while reading False Memory by Dean Koontz earlier this year and later joined the Haikuhut forum. He has been learning the different genres of Japanese poetry such as senryu, haibun and tanka ever since he learned of their existence.
