Name for me these african natives,
Beautiful like a Beninese sunset...
I had missed the flowers of this place.
The difference with which they bloom,
Their colours and the perfume they exhume:
Oranges and purples...
Petals of a cool blue shade,
With strokes of live yellows
At the center.
Name for me these african natives.
Beautiful like a Beninese sunset...
Trees and bushes bursting
With wild flowers, Aloe Vera plants
Brushing themselves agaisnt
Wall climbing greens,
Midnight Moon Daisies emerging shyly
From an ocean of thorns...
Palms and coconuts resting safely
In the nest of their mothers,
While their feather-like leaves,
Sway gently in the wind:
The cool breeze flying from over the sea...
Name for me these african natives.

About Me
- Ms Poe
- I've been described as an artsy, earthy, fun person :D I enjoy all things simple and beautiful, I love learning new stuff and always try to find out more about those who catch my attention. I love writing and since I have an opinion about most subjects... that's what my blogs are about, either through prose or poetry!
If you were facebook tagged... sorry I had to trick you into coming here to read the rest... but now that you're here, maybe you can read the other entries ;)
