Okri’s “An African Elegy” follows no fixed rhyme scheme. It is written in free verse. Perhaps Okri wanted to create a stronger impact by not opting to follow a conventional rhyme scheme. Maybe he wanted to show the free-spirited nature of the African tribes and how in spite of all the turmoil they have managed to break the shackles and emerge victorious.
