Tuesday Poem by Akin Akinwumi
Five Haikus
1.
I put down the year
Like a mad dog. Once welcomed,
It ran off with me.
2.
Standing at the door,
Unannounced and hat in hand,
Is the beginning.
3.
Now is the right time
To turn a new leaf and ink
The feathers of thought.
4.
Slowly becoming
Me, that which I fear and flee,
I end up myself.
5.
Seed my days with life;
Of morns and dews and chirps and
Roads worth sojourning.
