Opening up
when you read me ~ when you become my story ~ we gently unfurl — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Incantations
in those silent spells ~ I don’t want to read your words ~ but will fly with you — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Status quo
anticipation ~ I remain an unread book ~ you a mere idea — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
Peeled
when you read my poems ~ they are unedited me ~ with layered meaning — © Lize Bard @ Haiku out of Africa
