Black Tuesday

     Vanishing wealth; stocks decline

     Breadbasket empty; nature’s con

Ethereal Bliss

Your long pretty limbs and shapely trunk defy
Rings, occult within, unseen by the naked eye.
Rooted as saplings we've grown tall, you and I.
Bending in strong winds in chaos we try
To feel a calming peace from our sunset sky.

Like my car's engine, the gasoline you...

When I first laid eyes on him, he was alone.
So very solitary, he was but a stone,
just lying there as if he had been thrown
carelessly to nothingness, a rock that had never shone.
A gem he could not be! He was the oddest thing I’d ever...

You lift me from mundane reality,
     with wondrous flights to lands of poetry,
          where there, my simple visions come to be

I was just a little lost cat,
            so afraid when that wild, crazy tornado hit;
so, I hopped into a nearby basket lying quite flat,
then, this girl, her dog and me were spinning and wind...

I saw him from afar, a lonely oak tree, 
both of his eyes contained such misery.
I wanted to know his story,he's a mystery. 
He looks so sad, I wanted him to be happy,
Our eyes met and he beckoned me.


I saw him come to life right...

What are words other than coffin nails be?
Who does it belong to when it rails me?
An empty vessel at best that bails thee.

Lend me your ear and draw your heart near;
my words might seer, but hark the raw fear.

The poets have been forcibly silenced.
We view...

African rape of democracy 
She is citadel of beauty,
Crown in all nature bulden 
Nature made her, her blessing of 
duty
Atlantic, Equator, desert are beauty 
then


They came in Khaki and iron 
Rape her raining to harmattan 
season
Emptied, she is made in the sun
Her natural endowment with...

Rear view mirror

Objects, objectively put, are  closer  
than they  appear. But it doesn’t say it all. 
With the fair signs that spewed  forth once turning to

In memoriam:  Queen Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022. May she Rest in Peace.

Gracious and a constant all my life,
not bending to public opinion o’ strife,
your sharp wit could cut like a Bowie knife.
With statesmen you did meet—had an excellent seat.
Paddington Bear, so...

To be on water is to be of water I'm told
The sea a deep blue and unsettling cold
Offshore waves roar in and relentlessly roll 
Cleansing rounds that forcefully come and go
In many ways water is what makes me whole

Sailors proclaim water eases mental pain
Replaces rage...

In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee.
The powerful celestial force set free
amongst the hills and over the coarse scree. 
The winds that whip and slink —  the hailstones loudly clink.
Flashes segue to link —  I quell the urge to blink.
My pulse quickens...

Family is an initiation into life in society
Family must be helped and Defended by social measures
Political community has a duty to...
