Babishai is pleased to announce the top Haikus of its first ever 2016 award.
It was an extremely tight race with submissions from every region of the continent. There is definitely massive talent in Haikus across Africa. We'll be hearing from the shortlistees about their writing processes and the judges too about seeking quality in a Haiku.
fogbound day...
everyone
suffers
myopia
Blessmond Alebna Ayinbire (Ghana)
weaver birds...
the
bombed market
echoes
back to life
Chibuihe-Light Obi from Nigeria
blackout evening
the moon lights up
outdoor conversation
Kwaku Feni Adow (Ghana)
When the rain-drones drop
kaleidoscopes explode from
Namaqualand’s soul
Ayesha Kajee (South Africa)
new buds
the farmland throws off
a past of harmattan fire
Kwaku Feni Adow (Ghana)
orange sunset -
fisherman's shadow
afloat on the waves
Chibuihe-Light Obi ( Nigeria)
