the majestic sun
hangs determinedly
in purple-blue skies
it languors
lazily
too fat and stubborn
to bid farewell
a giggling child
skipping daintily
along a dusty trail
she smiles
sweetly
at wrinkled faces
on weathered porches
rambunctious boys
kicking a coke can
with naked feet
the unwanted
urchins
hungry to stomach
yet lusting life!
a million crickets
chirping incessantly
in mangled bushes
they anxiously
await
the soothing rains
from thunderous skies
this is africa!
my africa!
Fan-tas-tic! ! ! ! ! ! I was just there! Great writing... Keep it up... rx
