Best Wildebeests Poems

(Tribute to the movie “Out of Africa”)

I gave my heart to Africa…
There, on a farm,
In those vast green plains,
With coffee perfume in 
The crispy air…
I had a farm in Africa…
Where the gazelle dance
In the sweaty breeze,
Grazing and jumping and kicking
Right into the lions’ claws…
I lived...

windswept windsurfing wallabies warbling whales wailing................................................................................

A pink fish travelling with a tea towel is neither in a rush or dirty. Gridlocked gorillas getting grapes gracefully glide. Seafront mystery in windswept hair carrying a carrot, a jar of mustard, and ten grains of multicoloured rocks. A...

Longing to go to Africa

Babe I know this is spontaneous
and we're just coming off a good food fight
but listen, not to the paradox,
let's go to Africa.
Wouldn't that be a poke in the night,
a dip in the Nile,
a sweet roll in the oven,
a swing in the...

Tranquil spaces as we wander through the park,
the heat oppressive.
The zebras herding sheep like the watchful alpaca,
yet there are no predators
A motley selection of animals in one space - domestic and wild,
they congregate without care - used to the human spectator,
wildebeests, cows, impalas and sheep.
Following...

Down the steep mountains and into the slopes, 
Darting divine etched twixt duration and existence,
There run the graceful gazelles and fiery antelopes,  
Until their breath retreat watching other presence.

Wildebeests rushes by ceasing the opportunity to gain,
Nature’s bare feet turning brown sand on the beach,
Big...

The Savannah
The wildebeests have been crossing the same stretch
of the river for years going back into a foggy history and lack 
of interest. At the river, some are eaten by crocodiles  
and on the other side by lions. Meat on hoof and 
a calf...

But for your manifestation in dried pulp 
Minds neglect your invasion 
The crave for you unquenchable .

Lime light shining on your possessors 
Underdogs gazing loathsomly at your managers
Soo powerful you send jolts down the spine of those 
Witness your prowess 
Making your wish their command...

Thunder rumbled
And the heavens grew dark.
Noah herded the animals
Into the ark.

There are recalls of blasting winds across my cheek.
It was during an 8 year tenure in the city by the bay.
Performance of my tasks required early morning risings,
and so many of those early mornings were also         ...

It’s a beautiful landscape of Serengeti animal refuge,
Near a parched savannah with skeleton trees, lies a water hole,
You see a beautiful picture of animal kingdom paradise,
Elephants, zebras, Giraffes, birds, and blue wildebeests, all taking a sip.

With the sky overcast with roaming grey clouds,
The receding grass...

Grasslands felt them a week early,
Knew they were coming, 
Heard them from many days off.
Not in a hearing way, more of a spiritual knowing.

Grasslands had keen eyes, and strong feelings,
And a magnificent vibration sensation, that felt things way ahead.

She prepared herself for their assault, it...
