Raak jy aan my - English translation included
Raak jy aan my Die more son is ‘n kus op my wang So sag soos ‘n veer, raak jy aan my met die son en maak my verlang, Die straal in die maan lig, streel my oë So sag en teer, raak jy aan my dat ek jou sien met ander oë. Die wind waai en my omhels So hou jy my...

Gee jy nog om? - english translation included
Gee jy nog om Gee jy nog om vir jou naaste? Sal dit so wees op die laste? Wanneer ons moet staan op ons geloof, Sal jy dan nog die Vader kan loof? Gee jy nog om vir jou naaste? Of maak jy vol die heidense kaste? Vader sê “welsyn begin by jou eie”, Maar van die heiden verkies jy verskeie. Gee jy nog...

Premium Member Feelings Not Included
I do not mean to hurt your feelings That is, if you have any, to hurt. If so I apologize now for any future offenses As I will be throwing darts at your picture As I compose this ne’er to be posted “text” In the event it is used in a future indictment. It seems that “words” have become the currency Of...

Typos Included
Been regarded as clumsy For most of my long life, An existence where accidents Seemed more than usually rife. The despair of the Drill Pig Who, refusing to accept defeat Finally instilled some precision On my two largely left feet. He never, sadly, ever managed To sort out my dominant trick The natural born ability to trip Over any discarded match stick. The only slight advantage...

Premium Member Last Year's Nest Included Grandma
Last year’s nest was cozy and warm with quilts and Grandma’s smile. Grandma is gone now. Grandpa’s spirit has left. His soul has disappeared. His new woman put grandma’s quilts away, and changed the house. A soulless creature who wants us to call her grandma. Ain’t gonna happen in this lifetime. Last year’s nest was full of...

A Rabbit Wasn'T Included
When I ordered Welsh Rabbit, a rabbit was not included. The restaurant ripped me off, that was what I concluded. All that I was served was some cheese on toast. I soon learned that the chef wasn't a nice host. I wanted a rabbit and that was what I demanded. He threw me out the door because he said I...

Premium Member Batteries Not Included
Batteries Not Included They sit – idle memories – languishing crusted filth - a city’s weeping gutters. Detritus of fast food disposal clings to scentless bloodied thorns of tear soaked rose, future maple trees sailing sewer bound, adrift on a city’s polluted dreams. Yellow lights a-swirl on oil slickened streets highlight a scrawny stalking alley cat sad mime back arched on a red brick...

Gratuity Is Not Included
Service workers wearing fake smiles perform for the customer. Catering to their needs; pretending. Insecure bosses put the pressure on making it known that you are replaceable. Treated as a number, employees wear name tags. Told what to wear and that opinions don't matter. Corporate policies drive the machine and the answer lies in the...

Batteries Not Included
“Batteries not included,” She said. Which seemed obvious to me; Maybe a reason she was unwed, I mean how laconic can one be? Till to wind her up you know I thought, Without them batteries knowing; And yes a charge so I got As I tried to get her going. Maybe I could plug her in And she would get a tiny boost; All I...
