Best Serval Poems


The Aberdare Ranges Kenya

Dawn, when silence falters
And the trees of the range- 
Are tucked in a bucket of fog
Marching dawn, whose beauty never alters,
I tuck myself in blankets like a log
At the Treetops Hotel upon the range
Dainty dreams upon dawn’s altar

The dappled peacock dazes the dawn
While the African crowned eagle 
Will soar, prowling for prey
And tourists peep and picture the fawn
While their eyes prowl the breakfast tray
Jacaranda festooned fashion regal
Its blue flowers blue snowfall upon dawn

Elephants trudge to the watering hole
Buffalo follow, even the bush buck
The warthog always walks silly,
The big five will steal your soul
At the Ark's perch, you will be stuck
The water adorned by the pond lily
The range's serenity, waters your soul

Pristine streams gush from the moorlands
The Hagenia, decked in velvet green
The sword lily, sheathed in fibrous tunic
And as the Karuru falls hit land
True love will pierce to the gene
For pristine nature, is the true cupid.
Breaths bated as lovers hold hand

Further, nestled nigh in the blue skies
The Kinangop peak, peeking through
The closer I get, the further it hides
A sun bird chatters, along my trail's high
My eyes in tune, such wondrous hillsides 
I sweat as I head towards the bamboo
I am among the butterflies

Ringlets in a dance, oh! Surreal world
Monkeys swing, tree to tree, a trail of imagination
A reed buck is openly grazing
A canvas of the grassland in its gold
I spot a Serval cat, in hiding
On a safari truck, the breeze is an inspiration 
Beauty flows in the altitudes that I behold

At dusk the steeped villages prepare for sleep
The Nyandarua range, yawns its last
Fabled home of the Kikuyu god
Curtain like shadows befall the steep
And this wonderland begins to nod
As the women fluff off days dust fast
Men’s ears wide open as it darkens deep

Wild animals are known to visit
Roving around, excitement for the young
But the animals are known to visit hungry
The locals know too well, memories vivid
An elephant’s wrath is meted out bluntly
Protection for man and beast not far flung 
Conservation and nurture is the spirit

As Mount Satima watches her watered floors,
She knows the heart goes deep

Ninety Feet of Cat

The rising of the seventh moon in an ornamental lampshade is equivalent to a nice round smiley dinner plate that had been recently washed,
Recently washed is neither a rotating wimpy wishing walker and neither is it a raspberry wafer wobbling,
It takes a lot of effort to squeeze a giant igloo through the eye of a needle,
And this is not pleasant for the spectating polar bears whose fish was being fried inside the dwelling holes,
But only a mini strawberry could flex the muscles effectively to cause a jam in a mile of traffic,
That is not good news for the jars who are already late and to be late is said to be as irrational as using a fork to make a morning brew,
A stew is far more intelligent than a gravy as many components equal more experience and more experience means that even a metric metre of labelled combinations could entice a bear from a sleeping hole,
But only when wearing a jacket made from paper,

It is nice and neat and true to form,
But format was often found to be a flame of frog leg on a carpet of mystical swirling frogspawn,
It is wise to offer up a little cup of cat milk to the buds then sit back as the colours loop in and swirl in a sky of answers,
But this can simply not be achieved nor archived when the moon is in the bin and the sailors are racing in the sun ship,
A trade is traditional and traditional trade can be nothing more then a hyper-fluted mini skirt of a skating rabbit on a promenade wearing 60 pairs of headphones,
Metronomes moaning making moronic motionless mixes,

And a nice little pair of glasses on the mantle-piece was swaying in the wind but not swearing for swearing was reserved for those who act out tanker talks,
Themes then?
Yes.
Where there were many now there are few.
But in fuse boxes the conversations are often quite absurd and who would put a floating camel in a tank then send it into a plane to cross the clouds,
Criss cross is a cleaning duty for a mission opinionated cloth wearing layers of clothing,

So what will one bring to the fair?
A mare
A single bud
A sanctified saint cushion with sparkles and satin.
And a heron in a pan of water with 60 fish to eat.

Consummation is the creational consumption cream of cropped chartered chunks. Said the 90 feet of cat by a door.

Z Leptailurus serval Z at 54 lemon sponge cakes laughing at 21 empty flan cases.


Then a Storm Came Pt 1

The skies were peaceful
Life had felt so serene
It all had seem like a dream
But something quickly changed the the scene

The skies overhead turned black and dark
A great change has taken serval places
Life had taken a downard spiral
Only sadness and tears appeared on faces

Then the rain came down fast and hard
Just like fists raining down powerful,painful blows
Leaving broken bones and bruises
Letting blood from fresh wounds flows

The lightning overhead flashes across the sky
The thunder rumbled overhead
Drowning out the woeful moans
Knowing tomorrow wil bw more pain,more dread

As the storm gets stronger
So to does the pain
Makes me wish i had the power
To take away the scars,the fear,the rain,the shame

The black sky was the sign
The storm came alongside suffering
The lightning and thunder strengten it
made the pain  worse
The nightmare had begun

A storm had come into their lives

Planning For Her Wedding

TO THE CONTRIBUTE TO THE
                 NEW SOCEITY
 THEY DEVELOPED SERVAL CONCEPTS
      THAT RAISED EXTERNAL ISSUES
PUSHING THE ISSUES FORWARD TO SOLVE
              INTERNAL PROBLEMS
         SEAMED-UP IN THE DETAILS
       IT WAS THE FABRIC THAT GAVE
       DECRIPTION TO WHAT DECIDED
              THE FUTURE OF THOSE
            WHO HADNOT BEEN SEEN
          IN THE POSITIVE LIGHT THEY
                        DESERVE

NEVER COMPLICATE YOUR WORD ITH WORDS
ONLY SPEAK TO THE TASK AT HAND SPOKE
ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAW HIS PROTEGE
STRUGGLING IN THE TASK OF LEARNING HIS
ASSIGNMENT: HE REMINDED HIM THAT DAYS AHEAD
MIGHT PROMOTE HIM, HIS CURRENT SITUATION NOW
LIMITS WHAT MAYBE AHEAD OF HIM
THAT THESE TASKS ARE COMPLICATED BY THE NEED 
TO BE DONE.

WHT'S ESSENTAIL FOR BOTH BODY AND MIND IS
 ESSENTAIL FOR THE SPIRT.
TO MANAGE THAT WHICH YOU CAN CONTROL, HELPS
WITH WHAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL.
THE WEIGHT OF EACH IMPORTANT FACTOR,
 STRENGHTENS THE BODY OF IT'S PURPOSE. 
MOREOVERTHAN NOT: LESS UNDER THAT SHOULDBE.
STAND OON THE VIRTUE OF THE PREMISE, TO DEFINE THE DETAIL
YOU NEED TO THINK THINGS THROUGH: SIMPLISITY GIVE YOU THE BEST HIND SIGHT
IT'S REFLECTION IS ALWAYSLESS COMPLICATED.

The Animal Orphanage

Its the sight waft of rotting flesh
That first hits you
While the smartly dressed
Smiling warden ushers you in,
Through narrow turnstiles

There are rows of enclosures
A maze of them, a maze of the wild
Its like a snapshot of danger
A dangerous predator-laden savanna
Danger enclosed

Lions...
You will hear their shouting matches
Royal majestic roars
Like cage competitions
Even the females join in
While one stares you down
Sizing you up
Like a piece of flesh
(Well come to think of it...)
Some males lie down
Nonchalant

Amidst the noise
The leopard paces in its enclosure
Waiting for its daily ration
While the young buffalo
Grazes nervously,
Its enclosure next to the lions

They have emergency exits
Just in case...
You will spot a Serval cat
A croc, bored
And nervous rare Sokoke cats
Terribly out of place...
