African Queen Poem by Alf Hutchison
African Queen
Dedicated To a South African poet on Poemhunter...Cindy Kreiner Sera
With carefully chosen words she draws,
On an African canvas which she adores,
Then paints her pictures in colorful hues,
Light shades of darkness, to bluest of blues.
Compassion lies deep within her bone marrow,
For our parched land, its pain and its sorrow,
From Africa crying with its aches and pains…
To the joy that comes, with the blessed rains.
She holds South Africa in the palm of her hand,
Passionately dedicated to God’s beautiful land.
Cindy Kreiner Sera, is our poets dear name,
Seeking no glamour, neither fortune nor fame.
A poetic genius, both humble and wise,
Worthy, we all think, of a Nobel Prize.
An equal to Cindy, has yet to be seen,
Our precious poet…our African Queen.
wonderful dedication to a wonderful poetess, lovely to read....10++++++++
No doubt, Alf, I do agree with you. She is a wonderful poet. Thank you for the invitation.

Cindy is a wonderful and precious poet and one of my good friends on this site. She truly deserves to be called an African Queen. Her poetry reflects a true African soul. You have admired her rightly in your lovely tribute. My best wishes to both of you. Naseer
A beautiful worthy tribute to Cindy. So colorful and sweet.10
Oh Alf this is so tenderly written from a wonderful and caring heart and soul. I read Cindy's comment to this, and your words are so true too. Even in her comments she is humbled by your words, just as she is humbled by the homeland she writes so caringly about. She is a wonderful lady who deserves that Nobel prize. I have been friends with Cindy for a while now, and we consider each one a sister. I have been very lax of late in reading and commenting on her poems because of my illness. But I agree with your poem in its entirety. A 10+++++ and thank you for sharing this wonderful and caring tribute to a wonderful and caring lady. Love & hugs, Barbara
