Once Upon A Time In Africa Poem by Diana van den Berg

Once Upon A Time In Africa

Rating: ★5.0


Somewhere far away
over the oceans wide,
while the daylong rain,
pelting at first,
has softened
into a slow dirge
and continues to paint
the windows
heavy with mixed emotions,
as the day draws
to a close,
somebody is wrapped up
in a movie whose
once-upon-a-time is
“I once had a farm in Africa.”
