Enjoyed a little haiku/tanka tossing with fellow poet, Amoja MoMan Sumler, on facebook.

haiku

blk brotha mane of
lions-the sound of the nile
flowin thru paper veins.

haiku (AS)

My great Lion of
Judah grandfathers once walked
through the parted Nile.

tanka

in silence, brotha
to the evening; sittin indian-style
scrapin' his fears in
minor keys, emittin long
blue moans that pepper ears.
