that sees and hears its fauna and flora and revels in their names.

Well penned...it's the Africa in me that caused me to read such and expensive African poem...10+
Thank you very much, Lungelo. I didn't get an Email Notification for this. That is why my reply is so late. Sorry!
I am truly a child born of Africa. I have not read such an amazing poem on Africa, before.
Thank you, Talia. I am not sure how it could have helped you with your assignment on Africa, as I didn't say anything about Africa, just the effect it has on me, but I am glad it did.
What an amazing peace about our beloved........! Figuratively, Africa is smiling. Literally, the people in it loves Diana for this wonderful poem. Thanks SisD, igama lakho elitsha elo, I hope you understand.
I am sorry for only seeing your response nearly 2 years later, Zwelethu. Thank you for your beautiful reply and for loving our Africa too. Yebo, ngiyaqonda. Ngiyakubonga.
Beautiful! The Africa in you is re-awakening the Africa in me.
Oh, how lovely! I am so happy that it is re-awakening the Africa in you, Laurie! Thank you for your kind words.
a great tribute to a wonderful Land.. a beautiful ''song''.. each and every line filled with poetry.. Thanks for sharing, Diana - and.. right to my MyFavoriteList
Wow, Fabrizio! Aren't you one of the 6 great poets that wrote a book with Galina Italyanskaya, a very good friend of mine (and a second book I think too) ? Thank you for your lovely words and for putting it into your Favourite List too.
thank you, dear Diana. Yep, but I'm 'great' only regarding my 'height'.. since I'm 1,91 cm tall :) BTW, since that 1st collective ebook, we've published 10 Anthologies! :) It would be a honor to have one of your beautiful poems in a nex ebook.. Think about.. ;)
Diana, Cindy said it all, thank you for writing this tribute to our land, although I was not born here, I have the same love as you, and could never leave this land.. I am taking this with me. Warm regards Bob
Thank you, Bob for loving my beloved Africa too - and for enjoying my poem so much! - and to you, too, sorry for being 7 years late in seeing your reply! No, I couldn't leave either. I couldn't even leave my much loved (ordinary) house, and especially not my indigenous forest garden, many of the original trees of which were given to me as birthday or Christmas presents by my children when they were small.
Brilliant Diana - the Africa in you - in us who love this land.... only we can feel this strong emotion and go on believing... Thank you, into my Fav it will go - love, Cindy
Thank you, Cindy! Sorry, to you too, only to have seen your reply 7 years on! Yes, I am an African of the first water! Lovely to meet, another! Yes, there is a magic in Africa, , that isn't found anywhere else in the world. Once you have fallen in love with Africa, the passion for Africa never leaves you. Thank you for putting this into your Favourites.
You are trully born of Africa, don't you ever feel ashamed of that. i am so glad that there are people whom i share this same feeling with: the love for Africa. keep up the good work.
Sicelo, ngiyakubona! Angisazi ukukhuluma isiZulu kahle, kodwa ngiyazama njalo! I am sorry I have only just seen your reply now,7½ years later! Oh NOOOO! I would NEVER be ashamed of being truly born of Africa! I adore my country, South Africa and my continent, Africa passionately and I am very proud and happy to be born of Africa. Thank you for your lovely comment and I am equally glad that you share this feeling with me. I have a lot of poetry about my beloved Africa, probably not all posted here yet as I have only posted less than half of my poems here so far. I keep meaning to post more, but time is a huge issue.
