HAIKU Poems by Nkoyo Nsa

Dryness
Dry earth cracks beneath
Barren lands that once were green
Thirsty plants cry out

Parched lips crack with pain
Dry air sucks the moisture
Leaving skin so tight

Desert sands shift cold
Dunes that stretch far and wide
Endless dry expanse

Dry leaves crunch beneath
Autumn’s remnants scattered
Fleeting life’s brief dance

Riverbeds lay dry
Cracked and barren, empty space
Once flowed with life’s force

Dry winds howl with grief
Mournful sounds that echo pain
Sorrow’s empty cry

Dry forests stand tall
Skeletons of life’s remains
Barren, still, and grey

Dry skies weep no tears
Cloudless expanse of blue grey
Emptiness above

Dry hearts beat with pain
Love’s flame flickers, dwindles
Ashes of what’s lost

Dry souls search for peace
Thirsty for a drop of calm
In life’s arid sea

Dry minds crack with stress
Fractured thoughts that shatter peace
Anxiety’s grip

Dry bodies weaken
Parched and frail, in need of rain
Nourishment’s sweet kiss

Dry voices whisper
Faint and hoarse, a barely sound
Fading life’s last breath

Dry eyes stare blankly
Empty, void of life’s spark
Soul’s last ember dies

Dry silence screams loud
Deafening emptiness that
Echoes through the mind

Dry shadows stretch far
Darkness that consumes the light
Endless, void, and cold

Dry tears fall like dust
Grief’s remains that wither fast
Sorrow’s fleeting sigh

Dry memories fade
Forgotten moments lost in
Time’s relentless march

Dry laughter echoes
Hollow sounds that mock the heart
Joy’s distant, fading

Dry roads stretch far ahead
Endless highways that unwind
Through life’s arid land

Dry mountains stand tall
Barren peaks that touch the sky
Majestic, still, and grey

Dry valleys lay low
Empty spaces that echo pain
Sorrow’s hollowed out

Dry rivers flow not
Empty beds that once held life
Now lay barren, still

Dry trees stand like bones
Skeletons of life’s remains
Barren, still, and grey

Dry flowers wilt fast
Fleeting beauty that’s lost soon
Life’s brief, fading dance

Dry sunshine beats down
Harsh and unforgiving light
Burning life’s last spark

Dry storms rage with grief
Turmoil that echoes pain’s cry
Sorrow’s wild, fierce scream

Dry calm follows pain
Stillness that descends like night
Sorrow’s quiet, dark shroud

Dry darkness reigns supreme
Endless night that consumes all
Life’s last, flickering ember dies

Dry silence is all
Empty stillness that remains
Life’s fleeting, final breath.
