Premium Member Table Mountain

She's covered 
in clouds today
looks like the table is set
in all her glory, 
ready to entertain
with its prettiest 
decoration ever
just a sign of
the cape doctor
on its way
ready to blow
away all the smog
and dirt this city can muster
what an awesome sight
when she welcomes
the sun in the morning…
What would Cape Town
be without Table Mountain?
A city without a soul...

North Side of Town

North Side of Town



                         Wind brushing treetops
                         sings a song of silence.

                         The stillness of morning
                         recalls its own meaning.

                         Remnants of prairie land
                         remember another life.

                         The final stretch of a city street
                         leads to a winding county road.

                         North of city limits
                         spreads a landscape

                         of towering silos
                         and aging barns.

                         Aging barns north of town
                         recall another time

                         while wind brushing treetops
                         sings a peaceful song.
