*Africa Rising*
I dreamed of Africa/
Where the lions race by the shore/
I smelled the luscious jungles deep/
Where elephants thunder and roar/
I felt the sunlight hot and sweet/
Shooting its way through the leaves/
I heard the farmers brawny and strong/
Cutting away at the sheaves/
I dreamed of the great savannahs/
The children as free as the wind/
Of the colorful garlands of flowers/
The calm and salty seas/
Oh fruits of the swaying palm trees/
Land of the rising sun/
Where courage and pride are ringing/
Where freedom has begun/

"Wow Chanie, this is a good poem. Keep working on others and good luck. I liked the topic a lot." -- Randy.
"Nice poem Chanie, rolls nicely of the tongue. I do miss some depth however." -- Fir, Zoetermeer, ZH, Netherlands.
"Just one suggestion: the second and fourth lines rhyme in every stanza but the third. You may want to correct that so it flows the same. Otherwise I like it a lot." -- R. Bennett Okerstrom.
"The lines might be "good" but the message the poet tries to portray is false--he might be saying it unintentionally....The lines though not deep are surprisingly and refreshingly engaging...The symbols are alive. But of the devices are blunt, needing honing...." -- Adesola Olufade, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria.
"Its a buetfull poem that rely gives you a picture a Africa. Good job Chan. by the way, shes a girl." -- Ether Agishtein, passiac, New Jersy, Amirica.
