Unesco Heritage Site Haiku - Lakes Of Ounianga, Chad Poem by john tiong chunghoo
Unesco Heritage Site Haiku - Lakes Of Ounianga, Chad
Qunianga
we drive from
lake to lake
Quniaga lake travel
loch ness comes in and out
of our conversation
Ounianga - the woman
decides to name children
kebir and Serir
Our lust - we opt for
the fish lakes first
then the algae

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Sahara desert isn't known for its lakes, but the 18 interconnected lakes that have just been given Unesco status cover a total area of 62,808 hectares and have a maximum depth of 27 metres.
The stunning site comprises two groups of lakes 24 miles apart: the saline-based Ounianga Kebir lakes contain only algae and micro-organisms, while the freshwater Ounianga Serir lakes are home to a huge range of fish.
