Best Feats Poems
IMPOSSIBLE FEAT
A mother with fur no less a mother because of her skin
Love's not dependent
of the skin that she's in
Humans think they're superior to her kind
Living in her skin would be impossible they'd find
Try swinging in trees looking for eats
While your infants are attached to your teats
There once was a mean man named Gregory
Who was famous for disgusting feats of treachery
Set fire to a cat
While it burned he just sat
As the cat was launched on an airborne trajectory

Feats of courage and the heroic death
For the cause country or the desert zones
Peeping voices low under old stony buildings
In wake of the retreating armies of the Rhone.
On the hill an impregnable fortress
On the ground a mound of hay and mud
The battering of bats against the windows
In ruins destroyed by the war of mammon.
Give us a change of seasons
A little pause of breath after the sunrise
Two and two along bundled hay stacks
An undamaged barn along the ground.
Looking across the high window there is
A landscape stretching across the fields
But the internal bonds of prison keep tying
The gaze inwards towards the shields
Facing the demigods of death and destruction
Muzzled up rifles wolf dogs punitive camps
In the verse a demolition a smouldering ash
To counteract the poisons of the times.

SOUL MEAL FEATS
it was in our back yard
where it start
we got started
and party
dance to the beat
plenty meat to eat
we were food bummer
like a chill pill
it was
SUMMER OUTDOOR GRILL FEATS
sleeping deep as night
and dreaming up to the stars
such midnight colors
burnt orange and creams
vividness imaginings
under red, red mars
burgundies and golds
converge on the pinks and blues
soon sweet sunshine blooms
(The stage is dimly lit, with a single spotlight on the speaker, a wise and weary African leader. He stands, reflecting on his legacy)
My dear Africa, I rose like a lion, with Mandela's heart,
To guide you, to lead you, to a brighter start.
Forty years of vision, of sweat and of tears,
Progress flourished, like the Savannah's seeds, through all the years.
(He pauses, looking out at the audience)
But time passed, and power's grasp, it tightened its hold,
Like a serpent's clasp, it would not let go.
As we say, "A bird that flies off the Earth and lands on an anthill is still on the ground".
Loved ones feared to let me go,
Blinded loyalty, oft bestowing, but at what cost?
(He takes a step forward, his voice growing stronger)
Opponents distorted truth, tarnishing light with venomous spite,
But I stood firm, like Kilimanjaro's peak, shining bright.
For "when two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets hurt".
From Cairo to Cape Town, my legacy shines,
A bridge between nations, a united shrine.
(He looks down, his voice filled with regret)
But now, my staying impairs, the gains once shared,
A leader's strength becomes a test, manifest in holding on.
As the wise ones say, "Knowledge is a garden, if it isn’t cultivated, you can’t harvest it".
I molded Africa's progress, built young and old institutions,
Education, healthcare, a foundation laid, forever in store.
(He raises his eyes, his voice filled with determination)
Let history judge, accomplishments weighed,
Legacy may fade, but roots remain, progress made.
For "tomorrow belongs to people who prepare for it today".
I pray wisdom guides successors, building on my noble text,
May they find the strength to let go, to see legacy's true place.
(The spotlight fades, leaving the leader in darkness, lost in thought).
In a circus , who provides you a lot of fun ,
He is no one other than a clown .
Though he is sad ,
He makes every one laughing mad .
He can also perform some feats ,
And make everyone sit on the edge of their seats .
Concealing his real face ,
A happy mask he wears .
To make the audience laughing mad ,
He had to control his feeling sad .
That's the reason why I adore the only one ,
He is no one other than a clown .

HOLLOWEEN TREAT
THE
HOLLOWEEN FEATS
He’s agile and spry
Cat always lands on his feet
Springing and jumping
A natural acrobat
Darting and dashing
Amazing me with his feats
Never practicing either
The roaming waters leap spilling droplets pearly
And screaming with fuss and fury, into the dell :
The feel and frenzy of a divine lofty spirited spell !
The wandering eager mind too, seeks a way early
From the unmeasured heights to rush and jump
Down to any depth seeking its own desired mode
Chasing frantically, the distant strange,sly abode
And rush across all, nay,everything else to trump ;
Where the virtual, happy content does not slump
Into chagrin : sure there is fitful thrill in such a fall ;
Ambition oft carries the drive far growing too tall,
Alienlike, uprooting all coveted crudes and clump!
Venturesome feats and pursuits free from excess
And self- centre often do end in exciting success.
