| SHOUT BOX | Just thought I'd share a poem I wrote that is one of a collection published in my latest book of poetry called:
African Dust on the Soles of My Feet
A Collection of Poetry
by Susan Cook-Jahme©
Wistful Ache for Africa
Wistful ache of the love
For the tawny plains
Surrounding highlands
That thrust up,
Touching the skies
Under hot sun clad days.
Into the blue haze,
The Continent stretches out,
Like a basking sunbather
On the coral reaches
Of one of her long
Extents of glistening sand,
That is caressed
Sensuously by the ardour
Of lapping waves
Distant fish eagle cries,
As it dips and dives
In light air turmoil’s…
Carried on fleet wing
Over women hoeing
In fields of maize,
Bent with the weight
Of happy children,
Fat and chuckling in content,
Enveloped in protective warmth,
Upon their mother’s backs.
Gentle browsing gazelle,
Mingle in amongst zebra
Brushing shoulders with
Stern looking buffalo
At water holes,
Where the busy oxpeckers
Feast on tick infested hides.
Susan Cook-Jahme©
