Ebai Ayuk Nkem Poet Imagism

Landscape of Tea

I would have you visit a place.
A sight that won the gold medal of my heart,
A decade and three years ago.
The green tea landscape of Tole.

Long green hills of tea,
Planted in furrows of three;
Rippling as waves on a sea,
Stretching as far as you can see.

Reaching across the horizons,
To kiss the brink of the azure sky,
On a bright cool morning,
The green tea plains of Tole.

Yeah, a veritable greenery,
Creating a semblance of Eden,
On a bright warm morning,
The green tea hills of Tole.

And if I had my wish,
Then I could live within,
Or in a painted version, to always see,
The green tea landscape of Tole.
