It is the hope of the author, Barbara Flett, that LUMBA POETRY: Waves of Change will inspire each of us to take a little time each day to be thankful for the blessings in our lives, no matter how large nor small they are.
The book is a poetry collection consisting of more than 35 gratitudinous poems written from the heart. The name “Lumba” is of Zambian (Southern African) origin and denotes thankfulness and praise.
The poems are almost symbiotic, with each being connected to at least one other, yet still having its own message, rythm, and flow
The book may also be considered a multimedia art book as it contains:
- Over 35 “Lumba” or gratitudinous poems
- 18 coloring pages, each depicting intricate art illustrations that prompt deep reflection, and inspire creativity
Excerpt from LUMBA POETRY: Waves of Change by Barbara Flett:
“From the moment
We are born in this world
BELIEFS are things
That shape our way
Good or Bad, Right or Wrong
They can’t tell
The thoughts are formed and shaped
And inhabit what we concentrate on
We must trust
To find the truth
If the thoughts are not kind
They are most likely false…”
