Poem
By Cherbo Geeplay Africa, this sun drenched bliss, come to Botswana and see the terrific translucent creeks of Okavango Delta, as it blends with the sun rays and glistened. Let the unmistaken eyes catch the stretched neck zebra, graceful ---game in the name of Africa. Its beautiful furs decorated in broad strokes, rising in circular waves, from head, to hind. Now feast your eyes on the herd of elephants and the desert radiant landscape of the Savute --- Africa, oh Africa! The motherland ever so enchanting; the beautiful safari, and her handsome subtropical wasteland, home to the Kalahari. Then the overstretched sandy, salient Desert, as she greets the Tourag of Mali. Supple as their camels, nomads and traders of the Sahara. The colossal evergreen forest, wildlife, and plateaus of Liberia. From palm to palm, crystal clear beaches along the Atlantic, vista. Thrilling oasis of waters from the Congo to Lake Victoria. The land of my Fathers and its stunning rapture---Africa, oh Africa. Let me glean with naked eyes the loveliness of the Table Mountains in Cape Town, and live in Soweto for a day, a borough of feisty warriors. To stomp my feet as they do when they dance and protest unreservedly. In the land of the quiet giant, who took on and beat Robin Island with glee, then crushed it to dust in one palm. Spectacular chronicle for generations. The land of the Pharos, The beautiful---Africa oh, Africa! ______ My most widely published poem Adelaide Literary Magazine 2018, NY Blue Lake Review Literary, 2018, NY Breaking the Silence Anthology, 2023 Nebraska press NB: This Poem was previously published under the title: AFRICA
