L'Nass Shango Poet Haiku

Rain Dance

Table Mountain's white
What change shall the white clouds bring?
Let my lantern see

Flamed downy curtains 
Will the dunes be blown away?
Shall my river swells?

Cassava clouds cling
To the mountain like a mast
Call the black outcast

Outcast rain invite
Out of bush, down the mountain
Thundering in sight

My assagai shakes
To the drumbeat of my heart
Flooding briny lakes

Carolyn Devonshire November 19, 2010 at 8:52 PM Wilma has written about "Table Mountain," too, so I'm thinking it must be in South Africa. Stunning images convey your thoughts so well!! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich November 19, 2010 at 8:55 AM I finally am getting an impression of where you are from (though I am sure I could know that by researching it here at Soup) Are you in Africa? Wima told me about Table Mountain. I love the imagery here that invokes such passion. I have to get off the computer now. I will go see one more poem of yours first. thanks for all your comments today!
