African Mama Poem by Jessica Nobubele Frame
African Mama
African Mama as she struts down the catwalk
African mama with that multi-colored headdress
Vuluptuous woman
Independant woman
A woman of style
Africa's pride
Not fasion model's skinny legs
and flat bottom
Not half-shrunk cloth over disapearing waistline
Curves of Africa
Beauty of Africa
She is unconventional
Under-rated
Rich Beauty
Shocked faces stare as she transforms the stage
with her multi-faceted elagance
with her charm
and many colours
She is proud to be a woman
She she is mother
she is daughter
she will one day be grandmother telling stories around fireplaces
Her beauty is more than magazines
more than clothing
Her beauty is in who she is
In her free spirit
In her deep soul
In her rhythem
And in her heritage
She is Mama Africa
A woman of beauty
She is Mama Africa! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Jess, thank you for sharing you insight - beautifully written. Fondly, Jerry
I love how you made up the poem title and how you compared African Mama to the girls who walk down the catwalk showing the 'Beauty' on the outside when the girls are hurting themselves on the inside. But African Mama is showing both sides of her beauty than one! :)
Hello Dear, I love this one... And May that great Spirit of Mama Africa guide and Protect you...Amen. Take care of yourself Love. Anthony Edmond John +2348020984990
