The Omo Comments

The poem opens and closes beautifully: 'everyday is a poem to us an anthem to the universe dispersed then sudden arisen a night into a sudden day' - loved these lines!

The Omo River in southern Ethiopia is the largest Ethiopian river outside the Nile Basin. Its course is entirely contained within the boundaries of Ethiopia, and it empties into Lake Turkana on the border with Kenya. The river is the principal stream of an endorheic drainage basin, the Turkana Basin. The tribal groups of this valley are different in their cultures and beliefs; whatever your poem is very beautifully crated on the valley.

everyday is a poem to us an anthem to the universe dispersed then sudden arisen a night into a sudden day......beautifully written the poem on the beautiful people of the OMO valley and Hans Silvester, a member of the Rapho photographic agency. In this poem everything about the nature of the valley is delineated acutely; in every tribal people there are many lessons to learn the general people; congrats for being selected the poem as POD- -5****
