Two Worlds Collding

Africa, lie low,
             amidst the jungle beauty
                and many oceans.


                  Stanley meets Zulu
            the center cracks open then
                  all things fall apart



       for Russell Sivey's Two Worlds Colliding Contest

This poem reminds me of the title of the African novel "Things fall Apart" by Achebe. Good luck in the contest! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

I think you changed the names in the second one? I think that improved it for me, making it more like "east meets west" Yes, it is improved now!!!

I've clicked on four of your poems and I can't find the poem you wanted me to see if it was improved. You'll have to remind me of its title.
