Premium Member Talent and Skill
The mellow chords of a cello draw tears
as its bow vibrates a combo of strings.
For when that sound found its way to my ears,
it tore my heart apart and clipped my wings.

The violin, akin to the fiddle, 
carries both cheers and fears within its pitch.
And,...

Writing Is a Skill With a Will
Writing is a skill with a will.
Writing is penning down your thoughts on a paper.

Writing is expressing your feeling
Writing is a skill with a will.

As a place before kings
And unending sentiment
Of transcending compliment

Is skill and talent so sacred
That its treachery I must dread
In tarnishing a name
Or plaguing a fame
Of an indelible ethic
In the day of a...

Premium Member Descry a Skill, Decry It Not
I spied a ship and descried the flag it flew.
It was nothing like the flags I had seen before.
It was red and blue, with white circles and yellow stars
The highlights of white and yellow stood out 
    like stars at night, and...

Skill of Holding a Pause Vera Polozkova Translation
So we matured, mama, but, it feels that we are still ever-lasting and it seems,
That time smoothes, levels out our movements but it sharpens our faces and our whims
We’re no longer gun powder and honey, but stone paving as in Europe we’ve seen

Beautiful children, mama...

Premium Member Feathers of Pride and Humility
In twilight's realm where...
moonbeams entwine.
There are two owls engaged...
in a contrast of minds:
A Great Horned Owl so proud and strong!
And a Great Gray Owl whis is cunning and long.

Amidst the trees their feathers shone,
"Who is the wisest?" their voices cried...

As their debate ignited, fierce and...

Premium Member Some People Live the Same Day Every Day
Some people are bored.
I am not.
Some people live the same day every day.
I don’t.
Some people never change their opinions.
I do.
Some people have not picked up a book since high school or college.

The Biggest Sale For My Company
I was working for this South African company,
For its Lesotho registered segment.
I wasn't of the long serving ones
But a relative new comer.
Here we were in this industry:
Sales for an insurance company.

I had something of a different style
To how things were generally done.
Small premiums with government...
