Serengeti Poems - Poems about Serengeti

On the Serengeti

Why are there so many steps to reach certainty?
To be honest, I wish my roots would let me leave calmly 
So much grows fast around me;
I feel like the only tree
Trying to break through the canopy
Searching for sunlight feverishly
But in this shade, I can not see what's hurting me
I just feel the cuts once again

SERENGETI BETTI

*SERENGETI BETTI
Many limerick poems offer a humorous view into an aspect of life and existence, and because of this, they have become a favorite of mine. This poem attempts to poke fun at the use of AI in creating poetry.

There once was beautiful bot

Hyenas

While on safari
(Kiswahili for 'trip')
in Tanzania
over the horizon in a downward slip
across the savannah
the sun had begun to set
thought I'd seen it all
and yet
out on the endless plains
known to the Maasai as 'Serengeti'
not laughing but
and don't think me petty
with leopard-like
rosettes dotted
some funny-looking hyenas
there were spotted

Sarah

staring at a stereo
in the Serengeti
Sarah getting stir crazy
gotta get out of this ghetto
Sarah saw a
chance and took it
sailed on a sailboat
slowly to Nantucket
thanks wholly
to her Nan’s ticket
nice of her and now
Sarah seems brighter
somewhat better
as she wrote neatly
in her Nan’s letter

Waking Up Fast In Serengeti

in the middle of the Serengeti I fell asleep one day
hoping wildebeests and cheetahs were far away
eyes dared me to wake up, and I was scared for a minute
but then I saw the giraffes, and saw the fun in it.

They formed a rescue posse, and were curious about me.
Taller than I had imagined, even taller

Serengeti

The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains 
              A pride of lions 
Hunting under the cover 
    

Wall Street and the Serengeti

On the one hand, there is a remarkable beauty                                              

It's a Serengeti Kind of Thing

The lion gently lies down upon the grass 
With great caution he surveys the vast plains ahead of him
What will he have for his noonday snack?
What will he have for breakfast tomorrow too?
He spots a hyena and a resting zebra
He contemplates the two choices…

"tsk…tsk…tsk…eenie, meanie, miney, moe!"

"Which one should I choose?"

The zebra looks so inviting

Serengeti Sunset

Driving through the Serengeti plains
twilight started to fall over the land
Then in the blink of an eye night falls
no slow fading of light just darkness

The full moon comes out and reveals
the sky awash with rainbows of colour
all left behind by the glowing setting sun
bathing all of the plains with technicolour

Plain Serengeti

PLAIN SERENGETI


Zebra herds nudge babes along
Low slung sun burns shaded eyes
Shallow pools hide fish from hawks
          Peace of Paradise

Through the Heart of Serengeti

let go
the reigns of love
for love is
a curious
enough to
follow you
through the heart of Serengeti
unto a path of clearing

Wild Kissing Turkeys of the Serengeti

If you should ever come to visit me
I want you to be ready,
For the view that I have right outside my room
of the plains of the Serengeti.

From my window I can view
some of nature’s most exotic creatures,
A sampling that it seems is so unique
each comes with special features.

Today from my window I can see
a herd

Renew On the Serengeti

The rains in fall on the Serengeti lands
It's impending approach is in natures plans
From barren to lush bringing droplets of pure
Seasonal they are, but will it remain her renewing cure

For we treat her lands so bad, so mean we don't console
Will we ever understand to our neglect that we extol
There will be a day, when

Serengeti King

stealthily stalking
   grasses of gold disguise him....
      serengeti king

streaks of black and white
   pounding out panic's pursuit....
       dusty clouds of fear

weaklings fall away
   struggle vainly to survive....
      nature roars aloud

Serengeti Blues

Across the green Serengeti land, don't you know
A big road is being built to carry the filth
O where will the wide beasts now go, ever go
Shall we speak, shall we speak or die in guilt? 

Cho.
O mother, I cannot sleep
Don't you know night and is just the same
I drink my tears as I weep
I drink
