Oasis- In Haiku Style Poem by Birgitta Abimbola Heikka

A picture of an oasis in Northern Nigeria—cactus, pearly pool. The Fulani woman I once saw while taking a trip in that area. She was the only traveler, on a donkey, for miles on a road in a very arid location where there was little vegetation (except for cacti) . While trying to write this poem (in the form of an Haiku) , I thought about incorporating the image of this Fulani woman in it. The Fulanis are a nomadic tribe in Northern Nigeria. They usually have sharp features and are beautiful.
