Thabang Ngoma Poet Rhyme

Thabang Ngoma

I’m a failed poet 
A bowled out game of cricket
A boiled nugget in a poetrysoup to market 
I rule my lines straight like a wicket
I am an insane bullet
On a collision course with a stuffed Muppet
Take me seriously like a moving target
You’ll find me famously like a flaming rocket
Reading a moment then leaving a comment
Never meant to torment

Did I draw your face
In my heads endless space
As I write with an unguarded hand
I paint vividly with my free mind
I draw you in and once within
And begin to take you on a thrill like a trampoline

Eve Roper April 10, 2015 at 4:22 PM :) ? There has to be some positive somewhere. :) Blessings Eve Thabang Ngoma April 13, 2015 at 4:18 PM Hi Eve...thank you for your optimism, I guess this is a bit of dark humour, just a bit nervous about writing about oneself, that's all...cheers.
