The love poems in Flower Blooms do not paint lewd pictures or echo a Juliet infatuated with her Romeo. Eriwayo, in Flower Blooms, deploys love as a string to mend broken hearts and a rocket that fires us to keep moving to the mountaintop of ambition,
HAIKU Day twinkle bowl of memories beside a boy Rusty walls Grey blocks gone with time Boy lives life Hands hold head in
For in the Safari Serenade, we find a blend,
Of wonder, discovery, and lessons to mend.
So let us honor the spirit of those who came,
Acknowledging the impact, both fortune and shame.
In the tapestry of history, their story resides,
The European expedition to Africa, where worlds collide.
