[Poetry Winner The Shortys 2024] Whispers of the Karoo is an acrostic poem that spells out its title vertically. It paints a vivid picture of South Africa's Karoo region, depicting its vast, arid landscape and the mysterious sounds that emanate from it. The poem weaves together themes of ancient history, hidden secrets, and the surprising vibrancy of a seemingly desolate place. It captures cultural references such as to the gumba-gumba sound and the idea of a landscape that is anything but silent.
