desert sands
great Cheops over-shadows
the sands of time
white
sands
burning
placidly
in the desert morn
from a time immemorable
in the land of Egypt – Great Cheops still reigns supreme
Bastet sighs –
when mankind was still young
tall grew the grain
along the river Nile
where now a city grows

Written for today’s feature of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai where we revisit the Great Pyramid of Gaza – better known as the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops. For this occasion we are challenged to write a Fibonacci –
the Fibonacci sequence is as follows:
1st line 1 syllable; 2nd line 1 syllable; 3rd line 2 syllables; 4th line 3 syllables and so on as is the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 and so on.
Here is our host’s wonderful example:
sun
moon
star light
the breeze
this summer morning
birds singing their beautiful songs –
young sparrows playing hide and seek in the dry sand of the garden

and a beautiful haiku as well:
secrets
hidden inside
now outside
