AFRICA HAS AN AWESOME VIBE

Africa with no shadow of doubt has an enticing aurA                                                                                                      Form a group choose a trip, check a previeW

It’s a sin not to visit the two most famous parkS    
Come see the Big Five at Kruger National Park, and alsO
Abandon inhibitions and dance to Africa’s rhythM
Head of South Africa President Nelson Mandela, hE
Agreed and decided on a humanitarian view, a faV,
Shocked many by his wonderful humor, never antI!
A need to swim with Dolphins in Cape Town, but don’t disturB
Nearby sharks, visit Knysna Forrest, meander, feel its agapE!
                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                              
            “Agape” love in action is to love the world.

John Watt Date: 9/19/2020 10:53:00 PM I love your tribute to your home continent, Jenn, done in the VERY challenging double acrostic form (love how you used "FAV" as your difficult to find "V" word!) I've never been to your fair land, but if I get the chance to, I will let your poem be my tour guide! Hugs ~ John Login to Reply

Alexis Y. Date: 8/1/2020 9:47:00 AM Hi Jenny, I’ve always wanted to visit Africa. Your poem just intensified my urge to visit. Maybe when the outbreak is of the past, I will journey there. It would be so cool to stand where Mandela stood. Congratulations on your win. Great job my friend from across the pond:-) Alexis Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/1/2020 12:45:00 PM I have grown up almost in Africa. We lived in the then Rhodesia , then Zambia and finally South Africa. It is a beautiful country and as every country has its pros and cons. I couldn't live anywhere else, Africa sort of seeps into your blood. It would be so cool to meet you - Tom also I think, would love to come to Africa. We were in England 5 years ago, before I was on Poetry Soup and one of the places we visited was Stafford upon Avon and we visited Anne Hathaway's cottage - Shakespeare's wife, which is only a stones throw from where Tom lives - we both said such a shame we didn't know each other then, we could have met. Thank-you for an awesome comment my friend. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Judy Ball Date: 6/25/2020 11:42:00 AM Beautifully done Jennifer. Africa is indeed a lovely place.I would love to visit the national parks and see he huge animals in their own habitat. God Bless, JB PS As for herbs and wildflowers, Licorice is great for constipation and water retention and you can eat dandelions in a salad or boil them like spinach or even fry them and the flowers make a nice tea. Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/1/2020 12:50:00 PM How lovely it would be to meet you all, that is now Tom yourself and Alexis, why don't Poetry Soup hold a poetry convention in or around Johannesburg, how cool that we would be! We used to have a travel agency and organised many tours, but we kept our smaller business which my husband and I ran from home now. We place nursing sisters as we are a Medical Placement Consultancy. I'll remember the licorice because I love it and dandelions I agree are really great in a salad. Blessings and Hugs my friend, Jennifer.
