You would have done a series of research to arrive at this point.
By the way. It's really good and you make me know a little more about the continent I live in.

Good job!

I love geology & probing the vast history of our mother planet! This is a playful way to personify epic events! I love the way your mind wanders all over the place when you're thinking up poems! (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I get the Asia Minor, but not sure about the Africa. In any case, certainly a unique write here, Neville. Always a pleasure. Lydi**

[Neville]

Thank you Lydi** ...Today, Africa is joined to Asia only by a narrow land bridge (which has been split by the Suez Canal at the Isthmus of Suez) and remains separated from Europe by the Straits of Gibraltar and Sicily. Paleogeologist Ronald Blakey has described the next 15 to 100 million years of tectonic development as fairly settled and predictable.[9] In that time, Africa is expected to continue drifting northward. It will close the Strait of Gibraltar around 600,000 years from now.... N :)

Short and sweet, really like the way you separated the text, your story telling, and carefully chosen words. Introduction in the first stanza and ending in the second, thanks for sharing, keep writing!

[Neville]

I intend to Nadia B, I surely do... Many thanks for your stopping by and many more for not just stopping for a while at my most recent attempts.... All Good Things, N
