🌄 "Things Kilimanjaro Saw" is a soul-stirring collection of sonnets that gazes through the ancient eyes of Africa's tallest sentinel. From the snow-capped silence of Kilimanjaro's peak to the sun-scorched plains below, these poems bear witness to love, loss, resilience, and the quiet revolutions of spirit and soil. Ndubuisi Onyeacholam crafts verses that echo like wind through acacia trees-sometimes gentle, sometimes fierce, always unforgettable. Each poem is a footprint in the dust of history, a whisper from the mountain that has watched generations rise, fall, and rise again. 🖤 Whether you are drawn to the rhythm of ancestral memory, the ache of longing, or the fire of identity, this collection invites you to stand still and listen-to what Kilimanjaro saw, and what it still sees. OnukaoguOkechi83 is a winner in Shortys 2025. ANNOUNCEMENT: Update will start on the 11th of October 2025 at 8 pm, and thenceforth every Saturday at the same time
