A Letter To My Sister
loving sister
I write to you as a writer
know you are in school
Because you are still a big fool
Your being wise
wholly lies
On your book
that you should keenly look
open every page sister
read every text sister
Get that wisdom
Embrace that wisdom.

sister write every word
paint every picture
for those words
that picture

A Griffin
I am a griffin
You may touch my happiness
But you will never reach my mind
I see things as they come
Deal with them before they come
And when they come
I take them as they are.

I am a griffin
You may break my heart
But that can never change me
I will...

To Pleasures Unseen
Look at the baseball field.
The poet’s words, a sword to wield.
To these pleasures I consistently yield.
But heavenly joys I often neglect.

Where are the heavenly spires?
The bosom that protects against the eternal fires.
Where in worship no one tires.
And the holy one’s face is clearly seen.

What is...

Triple Limerick-Invasion of Beasts
Bright pumpkins flicker in shadows,
evil spirits hide in willows,
wolves renounce warfare,
even cats won't stare
at hungry griffins with large claws.


When the kids see those scary beasts,
they can't help laughing ...one retreats!
" Run, Jane, run!" yells Jared 
with spooky hair as Fred...
they both drop their bags full...

Prie-Dieu
April's roses scent inebriates every sense
below the Gothic cathedral
cardinals doze
draping their wings over
evergreen plants
foreshadowing a cool sunset
griffins guard the bell-tower
hampering the intruders
inflicting fear on the jackals
jaundiced they hide into a jalopy
kapok is soft as cotton
ladybugs allow no sleep
manifesting vulgar wit
nibbling on naugat
oblitaring any sweetness
prie-dieu is...

My Daughter
You are beautiful, wonderful, and powerful
Your creator was careful
Let none tell you otherwise
He put into perfect position
All your wonders in good condition
I attest for I took part in your creation
Call me your father
My name is Griffins
My daughter
I write to you.

In the world I stay there...

Forest of Isolationist Desire
Shall my isolationist advice be taken myself?

I believe so if I leave the girl alone
She will fall for the man I am
The surpassing will of the desire 
One of which he lacks compared to I
Is given to her only after my acts
Or shall I say...

Premium Member The Haunted House
She'd seen the house for sale and came
to have a look around,
walked up the path as freezing mist
curled, snake-like on the ground.
Two stone Griffins, like sentinels
gazed from beside the door,
she knocked, it opened,spilling
greenish light across the floor.
A wizened man with sunken eyes
asked ' yes,can I...

Premium Member Trolls N Things
There are trolls within my basement. My hubby says its OK they stay.
Most think they’re really mean and dumb, just like the legends say.
But they don’t know them from within, as I have learned to do.
Tho I love to teach them daily, to keep them...

New Love
New Love: by Griffins Ndhine

I had loved ones
 My heart was all mourns
 Like it was pierced by thorns 
Coz by my love I was deceived 
Thought I was loved, 
a shock is all I received 
Behind my back, by another man she had conceived.

Neverland
Go! Go to sleep!” Night said
“Where? Where?” I whispered back
Sleep - Where can this famed land be?
Where one must close their eyes in order to see!

And  must I go there at nine o'clock?
How to get there? Will I walk?
Will my friends be there as...

A Little Rhyme In Fantasy Time
Dreams in bottles
 and maps on walls,
 fairy tales told
 of knights so tall.

Dragons and maidens
 battle in flaming towers,
 as unicorns jump
 over plants and flowers. 

Elves and dwarves
 dwell in a hole,
 a witch who steals
 your heart and soul. 

Griffins soaring
 high...

The Train To Nowhere
The train to nowhere just reached the platform
Further down the tunnel, there is a storm
In a month or few, it will reach its destination
'til then you must seek for salvation 
Cause this train is part of mission of destruction
It goes on and on without any...

A Second Letter To My Sister
Dear sister

I am in my third year first semester
I hope you see yourself past that
You have to be perfect if you want to be like them
But write to me that all is done
That you have excelled Marvelously
Portraying your Brilliance
Stemming out like The Griffins
with wits of...
