Africa Awakes Poem by Irene C S ClarkHogg
Africa Awakes
Africa Awakes.
Early morning: a mist enshrouded scene.
The coughing of a lion: Surrealistic dream.
Far in the distance, a frantic scream.
The neat feet of the dainty gazelle,
A blur as she flees, who can tell
Which predator stalks the one who fell.
A mystic awakening, perhaps the beast in man - strong suggestive imagery very well knitted into the theme. CP

Very nicely done. Stirs up the imagination and elicits sights and sounds of the wild. I can see the pictures and hear the scream. And it doesn't eliminate the human question.
