Long Dora Poems

Young and Strong

She was young, she was strong
Working cleaning all the day long
So much to do, but she carried that load
So concerned about everyone, at Kenmore road.

Then we moved, to Strandfontein we came
A new challenge...

Honour wit heart deeper

Emanates power and 
confidence-alas!the 
Egocentric man has for...

My African-American
young adolescent daughter,
since she was age five
needing a therapeutic home and family,
with Oppositional Disorder
and deviantly diverse neural-cognitive communication patterns,
would have voted for Donald Trump if she could.

In large part,
I suspect and fear,
because she is...

It’s been four (long) years. Yes, long - to my dismay.
Some think it goes quickly; RUBBISH! I say.
When you have a child, the days will drag,
The season crawl, and the years can lag.

But onward we...

Ayla at Two

With a fistful of raisins and
Chocolate-flavored goatee,
Your favorite Dora tee shirt
Splotched red from your spaghetti lunch,
We sit on the floor together as
You climb on up for a quick fix of Mommy,
A moment of...

Gave blood and sweat for each other .

They worshiped mostly God, their father and mother, 
Bought an acre of land, and ploughed crops...

First blush of Spring-Summer time,

A world awakening to warmth sublime,

Meadows burst with life anew,

Chasing away the winter's blue.


Morning sunshine, on dewy blades,

Nature's canvas, in shades of jade,

Clouds part to let the light shine,

And dispel darkness...

GLORY TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR Yeshua HaMeshiach

Thousands of miles away, my drums beat with America -
the ear drums as much as my heart rhythm: news of abuse
A mild term for what some...

I knew the day will come 
When I'll missed seeing these two furry babies
Jumping on me with excitement 
Asking me bread and treats
you two were grateful for one chapatti each
You two were indebted to me...

A beacon of love, where tender words are said,

A guiding light, a nurturing soul,

For all the reasons, I am thankful for my mom.


She is the gentle touch that dries my tears,

She wakes at dawn, clock set for eight
she tried to rest- but work won't wait
cooking, cleaning, coffee to brew
“Oh without me, what would they do?”

Breakfast done, she clears the table
bustles down to meet with Mable
whose...

Emotions  Sleepless


Defeat   Loneliness.


Those are my fate,

Every Sunday after church
Old great-aunt Dora
Full bloodied Cherokee,
In her finest dress and fedora,
Drove her pink Cadillac
To the San Joaquin River.
She would stop in the same place
And sat on an old stump,
Under a camphor tree,
By the...

Sorry Daniel, it was not right
Hope someone else will see...

Dora and cheeku 





Charming pair of brave dachshunds,
Very possessive and stubborn,
Grew up with my only son,
Envious of my love for him,

Running around was a part of play,
Rolled and giggled the whole day,
Ignored if, they would...
