Filo Villanelle
Mixing memory and desire
Wilts the unfurling flower
Like a drought spell in the spring
I brush melted butter
Between sheer dough sheets of filo
I’m layering memory and desire
Slide it into the hot oven’s maw
Its element, desert sun shining down
Like a drought spell falling over spring
Scents of cranberry and brie bubble
The leaves now fall-crisp
Parcels of memory and desire
The mouth waters, the senses explode
Slide out the juxtaposed creation
Like a drought spell fell in spring
Small bites of savory and sweet
Mixing memory and desire
Spring leaves after the drought.
Hyena Haiku
Bottoms up, my dear
Cheers to your joy, your sadness
The cup spills over
Spot jy, hyena?
Die laaste gryns is grensloos
Hartseer se sterk kaak
No ! Letdown for the Poor Poet
I think I’ve fallen in love with the word vaward.
