Unesco Heritage Site Haiku - Rabat, Morocco Poem by john tiong chunghoo
Unesco Heritage Site Haiku - Rabat, Morocco
Rabat Morocco
holding strongly to a past
the new town
Rabat Morocco
the past tames the present
royal palace and pleasure garden
Rabat Morocco
glimmering sunset - the muezzin's
call to prayers
Rabat Morocco
healing...the dusklight infused
muezzin's prayer
Rabat Morocco
standing on the strong foundation
of a glorious past

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Rabat is both a modern city and a site of incredible historic significance. The older parts of the town, which date back to the 12th century, include a mosque constructed in 1184, along with the remains of a Moorish settlement, while the newer parts are home to a pleasure garden and royal buildings. The speed at which the new town was constructed made it one of the most ambitious and modern urban projects built in Africa in the 20th century. - MSN
