Best Jigged Poems

 [Poem read at Sekoto’s inhumation ceremony at the Neuilly-sur-Marne-93 Cemetery, near Paris. Channel 4 in London recorded the reading as they did the funeral rites in the presence of his close relatives come from afar for the nonce and based their documentary - as...

That fateful, tragic day of 9/11
was a busy one, for Jannah and Heaven.
The day the seed of war was sown
dictatorships the US wanted overthrown
no wonder the worlds overdraft has grown!

The truth though was in disguise
as fox news spread their lies
despicable people, I truly despise
who pull...

One fleeting Friday Freda Foster fretted at the frog pond. She  said" This was suppose 
To be my day."
I said yeah, go on. "I've been invited to this gala affair at  THE JUKE
BOX JAM  owned by Sam and I simply have nothing...

Unquotable quotes: Beggars - ***

Who said beggars cannot be choosers?

Who chooses for them the place, the moment or the people they choose to beg from; the hours of the begging day; the alms they refuse; the advice they brush aside; the language they use –...

Through a wooded thick in a forest of New England,
There exists a secret circus called the Craft of Ringland.

Meandering through a meadow one night before the forest's mouth,
I heard a melody humming in the wind that whistled from the south.

Following the tune towards the twine...

With chips and fries, girl buddy Pam and I
Lounged on a diva for night- time cable,
When Travolta caught our TV- tube eyes
Hips gyrating to Night Fever’s wiggle.

Our feet tapped as we looked at each other
“Let’s hit the town and paint it red”, we said;
In a...

the big shirt jigged and flapped, 
while the clothes line struggled 
to gain control; wily birds 
stamped their little feet to the
shirt’s sailing- ship, wild-blustered

Of drugs and doctors quips
His mind was filled with flapping sails
Of white that guide the ships
To dance among the white capped rocks

Malawians are feeling the pain 
Interest rates at banks jigged to 40%.

Instead of fertilizer
Pay in toilets charging exorbitantly
Just...

	no sound should he peep
stupefied, my head did wobble 

armed with a hatchet in my hand
hoping a final blow to land
	he ran, zigged and zagged
	he dodged, jigged and jagged
I could not...

There's a lady farmer from Seattle
Who doesn't snore but moos aloud as cattle
She will only lay
On a bed of hay
Where sheep can't sleep for her rowdy rattle.

There is a woman that comes from Belgium
Who has been blessed with an enormous bum
She carries her kids
Upon her...

'Whatcha say we spin a jig?' she said from
       'neath my tongue
her almond bittersweet the queried tang ...
so naught but few, the moments 'til my belfry's
       bell was rung
and thus with such euphoric,...
