African Sun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJK FLHMNO FCPQR FSTUV FWXY DZA2| When I was four years old | A |
| My village mates and I | B |
| Used to gossip | C |
| About the African sun | D |
| At the cold morning river bank | E |
| - | |
| WE WILL SAY | F |
| It starts very young | G |
| Weak like a baby | H |
| With no idea of how to shine | I |
| From the sea shore to the forest | J |
| Under the leaves of the trees | K |
| - | |
| WE WILL SAY | F |
| So around eleven twelve o'clock | L |
| It's migrated greatly | H |
| It grows giant muscles like an old bush ape | M |
| Wings and sharp big eyes | N |
| To glare down on the earth | O |
| - | |
| WE WILL SAY | F |
| I wonder if this same sun is in Europe | C |
| Freely it creeps in and out | P |
| Of our patched thatched palm leaf huts | Q |
| Peeping into very little holes it's sees like a thief | R |
| - | |
| WE WILL SAY | F |
| But I love the way it smartly sketches shadows on the warm ground | S |
| Tall standing trees walking beings | T |
| Trays on fish sellers heads | U |
| Like it's taking photos | V |
| - | |
| MY FRIEND WILL SAY | F |
| Sorie Lol do you remember when I told you I saw the sun in the village well one time | W |
| I wanted to catch it like a fish | X |
| But I couldn't fit its face in my bucket | Y |
| - | |
| I WILL CONCLUDE THE TOPIC OF THE SUN | D |
| Ha ha You can't hoot it | Z |
| It's bigger than you | A2 |
