Wow, I loved this, and could follow you every step of the way. I've been to a few safaris myself out of Nairobi, just as you. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's an amazing experience. A beautiful poem with the story within, and so very well told. Good luck. All the best. Ulla:)))

In my opinion, a STUNNING write, well constructed and narrated in almost silken smooth, rhyming rhythm - perfect in retaining the awe and attention of this reader and certainly a difficult poem to beat in any contest - it fully complies with the prompt, and I wish you success with this outstanding write...

Hello, dear traveler!

I have to admit that right away I was quite jealous. I can only faintly TRY to imagine what wondrous sights you've seen and experienced. Thank you for sharing all of this with us -- at least we can visit vicariously!

I particularly appreciate your opening. There is a building of tension and anticipation which sets the tone of the country quite strong. The subheadings are a nice touch and show innovation in your storytelling.

I think this is a good entry for the 'Share a Story in a Poem' writing prompt.
Your Safari story is clear and well told in your verse. The picture is amazing as well.
Nicely done and I wish you luck in the contest.

This poem takes the reader on a vicarious journey without ever leaving their computer. What you must have seen! I am only sorry I am out of six star awards. Beautiful picture chosen to match your absolutely wonder description of your trip. What an adventure and how well you paid tribute to it!
