beauty is captured ~ in your eyes of yesterday ~ your tomorrow smiles —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

this deliciousness ~ offered in a bright triplet ~ of the finest tastes —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

here your memories ~ schooled in ancient promises ~ a lifetime ago —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

remember the rain? ~ wet drops soaking everything ~ and how the sun shined? —© Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

they are the rainbirds ~ bringing relief after drought ~ nourishing our hearts — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

a gourmet of life ~ savouring every moment ~ and without regret — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

silly little poems ~ wonder what I am thinking ~ sharing them with you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa

rain on the zinc roof ~ dry red dust between my toes ~ child of Africa

I leave my fragments ~ without regret or restraint ~ safely in your hands

gazing at the streets ~ through the windows of my heart ~ joy and pain revealed

this morning’s feather
–
glistening with bright dewdrops
–
a beautiful thing
