SERENGETI SPRING: An African Voyage

	High in the branches
	of the Serengeti plain
	where sun scorches earth
	lizards rest on acacia bark
	waiting for insects to pass

	In a different world –
	occupying the same space
	giraffes nibble on baobab flowers
	while moving across freshly verdant plains.

	As their tails swish
	i hear a faint hiss
	and the savannah explodes
	in my nostrils.


Noel: Has this author been to Africa?

Gwen: Who knows or cares? Let the poem speak for itself – ta heck with the author.

Noel: I can't do that . . . each poem seems linked in countless way to its creator.
