Africanpoetry Stories

Set in the vibrant township of Soweto during the winter of 1976, "The Day the Children Roared" follows the lives of three school friends - Sipho, Naledi, and Thabo - whose quiet lives are forever changed when they join the student protests against the enforcement of Afrikaans in schools. What begins as a peaceful march becomes a fiery cry for justice, unity, and change. As tear gas fills the air and gunshots ring out, the friends are caught in a storm of history. Each chapter reveals the courage of children who dared to challenge a powerful system - not with violence, but with books, dreams, and defiance. Through heartbreak, hope, and sacrifice, this story captures the true spirit of Youth Day - reminding us that even the youngest voices can echo loudest in the halls of freedom.

REJECTED HEART... A Poem... The cold glare of the moon Upon a broken heart Mended souls Fragile at heart... ... ... ...

Decades ago, I made promises, one to my father and one to my girl. I failed them both.

"He's always the last thing I think of before the moon fades, and the first thought on my mind after the sun rises." S a m m e e h a p o e t r y #2 in africanpoetry

About beauty in imperfection Finding love in what's out of the mundane The black sheep 🖤

Great poem

Have you ever lived a life shut from the world? That life where man seeks his destiny with only hope....? In 30 years of my life, running through storms and walking on stones under steaming sun on an empty stomach, were the years of discovery!. These were years to hold onto God. My children, these, were the years that were so testing that no one would understand besides for nearest hearts. These are stories most men breathe through on all walks of life. My story might be different but hustles are felt the same way. The only question is, how far will you hold onto your faith to taste the sweetest victory like a bear eating honey from a pot? This is my story.

We express poetry in various forms, yet always communicate its message distinctively, sometimes with a beat or without a rhyme. However, some of the most intensely expressive poetry is highly descriptive and uses language that creates images and feelings beyond what other literary works, might not portray. This poem collection is about having to identify with African society the blood-pot from the heart of freedom, loss, acceptance, rejection, peace, conflict, and self-esteem.

A poetic love story where attraction begins with a fragrance and grows into destiny. A chance meeting, a shared scent, and faith in love turn a simple moment into a forever promise.
