Sonnet: "Black Africa's Threads"
In woven cloths of kankana, dashikis bold,
Black Africa's stories thread through every fold.
From Benin bronzes to Nairobi's streets gold,
Her histories speak in patterns young and old.
In Yoruba _orishas_, in Zulu _ubuntu_'s sway,
Her peoples honor ancestors in daily way.
From Timbuktu’s manuscripts to Soweto’s day,
Innovation, culture blend in endless play.
Camas roots in Chad, _fufu_ in Ghana’s feast,
Black Africa’s diversity — a beauty to grasp best.
With languages like drums, with art like morning zest,
Her many parts into one grand continent nest.
In every scar, in every smile, she tells,
Black Africa — a mosaic of worlds she dwells.
