Introducing Anasa Poems

Africa's New Poetic Gift to the World

Written by Roy T. Machamire

The Structure of Anasa Poems

  • Lines 1 & 2 → Set the scene or introduce the idea.
  • Lines 3 & 4 → A call-and-response between two voices, symbolic or literal.
  • Line 5 → A punchline, reflection, or moment of wisdom that lingers.

There are no syllable constraints, only the commitment to clarity, rhythm, and dialogue. Anasa is conversational, memorable, and powerful. It can be serious, humorous, reflective, or prophetic. Above all, it carries the soul of storytelling in a form that can travel across the world.
