The Ndaba Acrostic--By Ndaba Sibanda--Saudi Arabia

The Ndaba Acrostic

News in English, nice sounds in your language!
Dancing with words on a dizzy floor of literature,
Adding an arty dimension to the voice of reason,
Brought to the floor to breathe life into words,
Anxious and addicted to how words really dance

Ndaba Sibanda is a Zimbabwean-born writer. His poems, essays and short stories have been published in Africa and the USA. Ndaba currently lives and teaches in Saudi Arabia. Of his career, he says, "writing is my life, and my second wife".

    Ndaba,
    What a wonderful poem! I truly don't know what I'd say if I had to create a poem out of my own name.
    Yours truly,
    David Fox

      Hi David. Thank you. Maybe your first line could be something like: D for dynamic. A for the able pen-pusher, V for Victory on the horizon, I for Inspiring (Ndaba and others!) and D for Destined for dizzy heights.

    This is an interesting form and your work has given me a bit of a nudge to try it. Thanks so much ... as they say in New York ... a good read.
