TO THE WAVING FLAG

"The rainbow flag that waves
At schools' and heroes' graves In filled stadiums and banks Pumps pride in my heart's tanks Awakening the beast in me
I never knew lay dormant." Does indeed water the appetite to understand more about the rainbow which wave colours of pride and patriotism in the hearts of many Zimbabweans.  

The writing is pregnant with emotion and sense with especially awkward dialogue, but for all the premise of the poems was brilliant and paints meaningful implants.

The main function of a poem is to convey an idea or emotion in beautiful language. It paints a picture of what the poet feels about a thing, person, idea, concept, or even an object.  Energy Mavaza grabbed the attention of the readers through the use of vivid words which gives emotional shades, figurative language, and other feelings which put permanent images in the hearts of many. Energy showed the readers that, the supreme function of a poem is to transform imagery and words into verse form, to touch the hearts and minds of the readers. This book can easily arouse the sentiments of the readers through versification. BENEATH THE AFRICAN SUN  has ,evoked imaginative awareness about things by using a specific diction, sound, and rhythm.
The energy used by Energy in this energetic bundle of emotions  is tango able energy one can feel and feel again.
Well done and God bless.
