Question

Write a practical appreciation of the poem You Haven' t Met Her

Answer 1

Explanation:

YOU HAVEN’T MET HER

Of course, you have not met her,

Loveness, the sunshine of the city,

once the honey-pie of the ghetto,

the sugar-loaf of the township

and now the ice-cream cone itself.

The white mini-skirt clung to her figure

like icing on a cake.

her breasts plunged ram-horns

in the hearts of men.

Her fried eggs broke a marriage contract

now Tito’s home is a village wound

that babbles with the gossip

and the bitter cries of a mother.

Tattered, the children’s bottoms

have taken the hue of ash-earth.

Sam, the little one

has a head the size of two footballs

his bones and ribs

cry for an enumerator.
