Haiku by Jerhretta Dafina Suite

HAIKU #1

Thinking our love was
forever, I never thought
to plan for myself

 

HAIKU #2

No comfortable
place on earth for a thinking
African woman

 

HAIKU #3

Her eyes held wisdom
Of ancestors and triumph
Of our children's smiles

 

HAIKU #4

So high, I grab stars
Flinging them, they boomerang
offering halos

 

NOT NATURAL

now WE are dancing
to the words instead of the
music. GOD help us!

 

NOT NATURAL 2

When we dance to the
Words instead of the music
We have become them

 

LOCK!

My naps embrace, they
Honor Creation, and are
keys to pyramids

 

BLUES

This space in my mind
I wallow unconsciously
my penance not paid

 

JEWEL

He used to wear me
Like a diamond, but now
He just wears me out
