Bosaso is the commercial center of the Puntland Administration in the Northeastern tip of Somalia. It is where I arrived yesterday night and re-united with family members I have not seen over the past 17 years as a result of the tribal wars that had swept all across the country. This is a summary of my observations during my short stay in Bosaso. Photo: a thoughtful goat using a car roof as a stand while grazing peacefuly in the city center.

Brisk markets
Powerful trade
Precious items
Unfair prices
Unkempt lanes

Smart breeze
Gentle winds
Awful heat
Seething waves
Unsafe waters

Advancing light
Fading horizon
Floating boats
Dancing birds
Buzzing flies

Leaping goats
Loitering pets
Littering souls
Busy Mosques
Blue minatets

Old buildings
New structures
Loose fixtures
Poor roads
Beautiful cars

Elegant dresses
Covered heads
Veiled faces
Smart eyes
Slow gait

Blooming life
Budding flowers
Thriving peace
Wacky stories
Wonderful history

Abdi-Noor,

Each brief line carries a thousand memories to the Poet who wrote them, and brings a thousand more to the reader fortunate to have read them. An excellent sharing; one sees the scene unfolding before their eyes. Well done, my (((friend))).

And I love the thoughtful goat: what was he thinking?? LOL

(((HUGS))), love and prayer, Karla.

I am so glad that you are sharing these travels with us! There is quite a dichotomy (sp) there, isn't there? I speak in reference to "poor roads/beautiful cars". You are allowing us to journey with you through these verses and I thank you. :) STAY SAFE!!!

And let me add:

Turquise skies
Blue waters
White rocks
Displaced people

If this is not our very own Ibn Batuta. And that's one very smart goat. Keep us updated.
