Jannie Breedt Poet Free verse

Nagbepaling

Wie waak oor ons gans die wakkernag?
Vind sondes.lank vergete
n aanklag eggo in die gewete
Dalk net stank demone
Wat slaaploos toi-toi in talle drome

Watter wekker skrik sy meester kaal
Wyl hy rondtol.in n lakenhel?
Skape, pennies en sy woorde tel
Of plak gebede saam met drome vas
Teen blank plafonne en die linnekas?
En ook skimme wat eens mense was
n vingerskrif op die klagstaat straf

Ander sluimer niksbeduidend
Wereld werk nog steeds misleidend
Introspeksie hou het geen verband
Onwelkom het net ingekom
Soos infeksie in n agtertand

Prokureur teem onbeholpe
'k kort n advokaat
n leuenverklikker wat moet wèèt waarvan hy praat
Opgetof en opgetoga en n omkoopmagistraat
Sinies en insomnies 
naghof ronddool in n doodloopstraat
Wie sake uitgooi maar dan skelm uitstel
Weereens more ons beroof van geld en slaap

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton August 12, 2018 at 6:44 AM hmmm Lawrence of Arabia? I'm thinking more Gertrude Bell, she sort of grabbed them by their balls. Yeah, but I get the Lawrence. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton August 12, 2018 at 6:58 AM ...move over Lawrence rings Bell. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/forgotten-female-lawrence-arabia-helped-create-modern-middle/

Connie Marcum Wong June 1, 2018 at 3:11 AM I now have an idea of what your words mean after looking it up in translator Bing Jannie. It is stunning like all your work! Blessings, Connie xxoo CayCay Godwin July 1, 2018 at 8:42 PM I would like to do that, too - thanks for mentioning it, Connie. Miss you and love ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich May 6, 2018 at 6:06 PM oh my, I hope someone here can understand it!! Yes, I suppose you would have seen the Sahara, right? Do people ever have picnics there?(maybe along an oasis!!) CayCay Godwin July 1, 2018 at 8:40 PM Maybe you once were! Jannie Breedt May 6, 2018 at 11:21 PM My complete inability to describe my utmost fascination and deep tender love for the Kalahari and the Namib desert is a mystery. Also off course the Sahara. I should have been Lawrence of Arabia
