Best Kimberley Poems

A stone so beautiful
The gem of gems
This carbon icon
A girls best friend
 
In many a place mined
All legal and right
To be marketable
To be pretty in sight
 
On our Jewellery do we wonder
Where ours come from
Is this splendid stone
From a war torn wrong
 
Most are credited
From...

They Called Him Diamond

They called him Diamond still do and his colour is black like 
scorched earth frozen shadows of hell shafted and grafted on 
his scarred broken shoulders deprived of not only his name 
made void and exploited for jewels in the crown of...

My sweet Dr. Kimberley called me today
I'll be here for a while, good to hear her say
Need Vitamin B12
For memory health
Thankfully though, I can continue my ballet

"Gothic 17"

provided they are 
all story 
and no reflection 

I’m all for heroines
those coiled springs
minds like vampires

the ones 
who 
never sleep

sharp teeth
dripping words 
that bleed

kissing lips dreaming
lips speaking, punctured
Northanger

North anger 
abbey nuns clipped
speaking like demons

novitiates 
slipping 
on pearls 

of kintsugi angst 
the wisdom
refrains lifting

ripe mouths
blood...

For years I thought I was the man because of my independence
uncanny work ethic 
and my wit.. 
For years I thought that it would be me and only me for the rest of my life... 
It is amazing how in one breath everything changes, 
everything...

Eucalypts in storms
under a Kimberley sky...
the Polar Bear fries.

I have this burning desire
To find old mate
I want to sit
And chat with him
Under a Gum and setting sun
About what has come
And what has passed
Times of old
Places we’ve been told
Along the wallaby track
Signs of danger
Moments of charity
In the clarity 
Of a sinking sun
Places of sustenance
And...

The emptiness and unhappiness so closely related
Left her with a hole bigger than Kimberley.
No man dug fortune, only misconception and silence.
Her predecessors left her no gold to kick the dust off.
They only left deprivation and separation

she had children who truly loved her they all have...

Only eighteen and conscripted to the military,
no choice of mine it was the norm at this time and scary,
barely out of school and still wet behind the ear,
too young to watch an adult movie or have a beer.

Disadvantaged to study and too white to be...

Où allons nous? Translation of Oodgeroo  Noonuccal’s “Where are we going” by T. Wignesan

Ils sont venus dans une petite ville
Une bande à moitié nue soumise silencieuse
Tout ce qui restait de leur tribu.
Ils sont venus à leur vieux territoire bora 
Où beaucoup d’hommes blancs maintenant...

1980
With deep sadness, I heard the awful news,
My favourite stand up comedian Richard Pryor,
It was June 9th while being in a drug-induced psychosis,
He poured rum over his body and set himself on fire.

1981
It was cold December everywhere was covered with snow,
I was living in Ayrshire,...

TRUTH
By: Kimberley Pittman 

There's history in heathens; the Earth has been our home,
Though lost in our own hell, it's a place we've come to own.
My heart is gold, yet its worth is judged by you,
And though I seek no throne, I'm caged within this zoo.

You...
