Best Neighbouring Poems

Blind panic

There was a warning came one day
It said disaster’s on its way
An old volcano in the distance
It could erupt in any instance

The molten ash came pouring out
As neighbouring village was in doubt
Folk were running to and fro
It seems they had nowhere to go.

Buildings were...

Dazed as the phone wire strangled my neck 
End of my youth faded with you 
Noise of my tears echoes neighbouring walls 
Innocent dreams dimmed in stardust so prematurely 
And still every day I ask the sky why you are a star
Lost in the solar...

A summer kiss on winter night
precious gift enough to ignite
my teenage mind with burning flame
a neighbouring dame with sweet name
a cage-free bird on its first flight.

Many years ago but still bright
in my mind like day's first sunlight
and how I enjoyed when it came
a summer kiss.

Like...

Little blades of grass touching my naked feet
Oh, the soft pleasant touch, the trodden path
I am treading again; though this is my first
Venture, my maiden hike towards the peak
The great heights of the neighbouring mountains!
Have you ever lost yourself in the benumbing wilderness?
Have you ever...

Visitors I saw in my garden today were:

9 starlings noisily squabbling
1 duck casually waddling.

1 robin - a handsome little chap
1 bumble bee, that landed on my lap.

2 neighbouring cats, stalking the same prey
1 little mouse, who wears a coat of grey.

3 worms wiggle above the...

A Meandering Cocophony of Thought that Evades Fate

Contractual obligations toward your future self
Non-Factual invocations that deprive you of your health 
Actual comparisons between poverty and wealth 
Emmanuel on the eve of a heavenly operation of stealth 

Bellowing antiquities of integrated life forms moving
Fellow things that...

The birth place of world war II
after an invasion void of any declaration.
Stamps on history’s book by feminine hands
to ascertain the first death sentence of the same human disaster.
A time frame marked its stolen identity
signifying its absorption into the world map
when three neighbouring nations rolled...

No earthquake, no thunder, no volcanic eruption
Or even there was no any of natural calamities,
A sudden loud sound broke out all through the bush
With whizzing, shuddering, cracking, tearing, echoing,
Fear, horror, dark, terror, misery and ill spirits spread
Committing destruction, death in a horrible situation,
Dust, dirt, smoke...

One would think that the feeling of being a slave would create understanding
One would think that racism would die off and cease to overtake our surrounding
Equality has become but a faint memory buried with a man Africa once so greatly looked up to
Labels still floating...

In our highschool, we had to go for masses every Saturday and Sunday
And some girls even went for masses early mornings during the week
The nuns kept strict eyes on us
We had limited socializing time with our brother school

Gbum Shaka!
Sing to me,o Angel of
The legendary conqueror,
The great elephant that 
Shook the foundations of 
The earth.

Whirrrrrrrrrr......hear the 
The voice of the wind 
Whispering about the 
Only Ama Nkosi:

Between the Drakensberg
And the Indian ocean,
The immortalized most 
Dreaded kingdom lived.
Out of the bowels of 
Nandi came...

An elderly man I knew ,

about fifty years ago
was well known  among the local
and neighbouring residents
for his  knowledge of the native pantheon,
evil spirits, and ghosts .

Often he conducted rituals
to ward off the ghosts and evil spirits
from the homes...
