Roberta Writes – Lion Scream: Syllabic Poetry About Southern African Wildlife available as an ebook and paperback

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am very excited that my new collection of poetry, Lion Scream, Syllabic Poetry About Southern African Wildlife is available for free download on Kindle Unlimited and as an ebook and paperback from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Lion-Scream-Syllabic-Southern-Wildlife/dp/B0BV43HRD2

This book is close to my heart as the 62 syllabic poems are all devoted to southern African wildlife and nature conservation. My intention with this book is to share information about African animals, birds, insects, and other creatures and to highlight their plight in the face of the Sixth Mass Extinction and climate change. This book also includes my short story, The Nutcracker, which also highlights these themes.

Do you rely on Earth for your survival?

Lion Scream is a graphic collection of poetry and prose. The book portrays the author’s experiences with South African wildlife and the growing impact of the Sixth Mass Extinction and Climate Change on the natural environment.

Lion Scream
There is no jungle
Only acres of smooth stumps
There is no jungle
No habitat, no food source
Hopeless lion screams tonight

Editorial review of Lion Scream

“In this reflective collection of syllabic poetry, poet Roberta Cheadle weaves words, emotions, and images as she recounts her soul-stirring journey around South Africa in 2022. She highlights the plight of the animals in the face of the Sixth Mass Extinction, during a visit to Ukutula Lodge & Game Reserve. Lion Roar is a poetic and photographic roadmap to the heart & soul of South Africa with highlights about the increasing impact of global warming on humanity and the greater planet. A must read!”
—Colleen M. Chesebro, Author of Word Craft: Prose & Poetry, The Art of Crafting Syllabic Poetry

    1. Thank you, Jan. I will try and get it into some of the schools. Unfortunately, the people who are likely to purchase this book are the ones who are already passionate about conservation. It is difficult to reach people who aren’t interested in nature and conservation.

  20. It is enough to make one scream–from insects, to birds, amphibians, fish, and all sorts of mammals, so many are disappearing because of us. Good for you, Robbie, for calling attention to the situation in your country.
