Danny Looks for a Continent to Discover

Danny, a superlative explorer kept searching
Determined to find a lost continent
There has to be at least one out there no one has found!
He devoted his life to this quest, every moment thinking of it.

His parents could not relate.
Danny had given up his chances to date or marry.
He lived sixteen thousand miles away from them.
They had

Crossing a Continent At Night

Down a runway skybound
to cross a continent, 
see from a window
a city fall away
with bright beads 
strung along a coast,
then turning inland, 
clumped townships 
shrinking to solitary lights
sunk far apart
into hours
of featureless dark. 

Disconnected
from the earth,
let the mind paint
the blank distances 
and wander landscapes 
of Namatjira's hills
and ghost gums 
and photographic stills
of outback towns
and along

Beyond This Huge Continent

Beyond this huge continent
where seas separate adored faces
and smiles smeared with sadness,
I left what was a living part of me;
spring meadows that seemed prairies 
with wildflowers giving more beauty 
to a sunset not wanting to fade away...
I can only remember them with regret!    

Must I relive a past that makes me weep

Coffee Stains

Coffee Stains
David J Walker

Those stains on the carpet 
are from coffee
Split last Tuesday 
Left because it is right 
In the form of some 
Unknow unnamed continent 
Explorers are looking for
But will never find unless
They look beneath my desk
Or
Shaped like clouds that
Could be horses galloping
From Northeast to Southwest
But the meteorologist
Never look up and are
Never seen 
on

Cherry Blossom Continent

Imagine the world full of bloom
Imagine a continent full of the joy of smiling faces
They have magical power to transmit the warm gentle feeling to the others

Flowers come out from the ground where rain joins with fertilizer,
(All kinds of worms collaborate to make it happen!)

Humans come in and go out from the ground where sadness,

Geography

Doing is Happening
There are imaginary lines to mark locations in a map
Horizontal parallel layti are latitude lines.
Vertical khari lambi are longitude lines.
Four directions to go
The time is now.
Note.Maps can only guide readers.
Lesson.The marker of imagination is an important ingredient.

Africa

they call her 
the dark continent
though the sun shines 
brightest on her
blue rain pours on her 
every day 
making nonsense 
of her sun’s toil

Africa My Continent

Africa my continent
I remember you today as always
The cradle of civilization
The land of great and revered warriors

Endowed extravagantly with all God’s natural resources
Africa my continent
The land of great promise
Africa of Achebe’s Things fall Apart, I salute you.

Rise up and take your destiny in your own hands
The   abundance of wealth in your bowels
Should be

Say No To Xenophobia

I saw an angry African tower over a bleeding brother
I saw a by-passer look on, with little bother
I saw a neighbour inflict a new scar and a blister
I heard a woman’s yelling silence a pleading sister
A foreign accent crying out for help
A cry drowned out by indigenous mob’s blame
A mob that takes over our conscience

Continent Wide Yogic Carpet Ride Unveils Qualm

Bull eve me (Adam, whether existence
     fact or fiction),
     his immediate legion heirs whole
heartedly partook
     to regale no Joe king paternal prominence,
     sans legendary, fraternity,
     and consanguinity subsequently implemented

The African Continent

"Anytime the sun rise,it smiles with me, 
And when it's setting,cries with me,
It really loves my race,
Respects my unique custom,
Always praying to get closer to me,
How colourful it breaks its rays into me,
My children likes it,
How good and powerful it is,
Violence can't intimidate when it should appear and disappear, 
Birds sing to make sure they

A Continent Half-Dead

Where can I find Africa alive?
Africans, a very sick population
language, diluted, truncated, lost
education, bedeviled, colored
economy, bed-ridden, in drips
democracy, without soul, spirit
industries, baseline and debased
agriculture, genetically modified
youth, foreign caricature beings
patriots, hidden agents of powers
mass media, devil’s delight
African essence, assimilated

Where can I find Africa alive?
all I see including me, I guess
is a bundle of alloyed humans
that lives

The Alien Continent

The white ice is glittering everywhere,
The view of that Continent is super,
The Arctic ocean is vibrating with glacier,
The seils, Panguins, whales are moving there.
The global warming is soaring rapidly,
The ice of the Artic are melting randomly,
The sea levels are rising dangerously,
The low lying countries will submerge surely.
Shall we let it be done?
The hardest job can't

To Eat a Continent Is Not So Strange

Waves could wash away certain blue memories but they're too blue. Today I've sat in two places, my heart full of you and how in the night under a half man in the moon too soon, too soon, did love die? Today I've sat in two watery places but the rhythms will never wash away

The Dark Continent

Why is Africa the dark continent?
Is it the skin, but this is skin-deep…
Is it the hope, which by faith we keep? 
Is it the future, which we cannot see,
Or is it the label 
That was given unfortunately?

When we in Africa
Look up at the bright blue sky
We see the hope and glory
In eyes about to die
