Moonlight tales the African
stories
Children grinning their brows
As they chant the story of
the ancient
Sweet soothing songs handed
by history
To us who by richness of
culture
Brightens the dark hours of
night
With instinctive thoughts of
succinct stories
Of fairy and the fair events
fixing a folklore
We who drain the dullness of
night
Simmering the turbulent
sorrows of day
With night activities that
quickens the queasy acts
Even with fairy tales that
throws agog the sluggish night
Never here do you bed with
worries
That drown in the ocean of
stories
Puzzling riddles from ready
mouths
Of the aged and all of us,
sharing the moonlight tales
