Bio Sketch
Adjei Agyei-Baah (June 29, 1977 -- December 18, 2023) was the co-founder of the Africa Haiku Network and The Mamba and author of afriku: haiku and Senryui from Ghana, 2016, Finding the Other Door, 2021 and Scaring Crow, 2022.
L1 sets the theme and mood while unexpected yet visually fresh and funny Ls 2&3 enhance the hai (comic) espect of the haiku.

watching an old man
talk to the bare tree ...
I feel less alone
Failed Haiku, 1:11, November 2016
