the baby in the bulrushes
who eventually was able
to speak truth to power and
delivered his people to a
promised land
I am interested in Saul...

Something's Amiss POTD
I was a successful, scientific explorer, traveling to the remote, distant lands,
Bettering noble lives of many, like budding, green spring which understands.
And every day held fruitful discovery, as when the autumn colors are flying,
Or when...

No Beating the Clock
I was an ambitious fine watchmaker, looking forward to sunshine tomorrows,
Like the remote edge of a fuchsia horizon, where gather racy, blue swallows.
I worked on clocks of all styles and sizes, repairing both old and...

Silence!
Silence Africa!
One can hardly get Africa to be silent;
Africa habours a pulsating bubble.
Everyone in Africa bounces to rhythm resilient.
Africa, like Zambia, or
Zambia, like Africa;
Dear ones, whichever comes first
Swells with energy in the sun!
You see...

My Africa Is Free
In Africa's embrace, freedom sings,
Through vast plains and rivers' springs.
A continent's heartbeat, strong and true,
Where dreams take flight, where hopes renew.
From ancient tribes to modern days,
A tapestry of colors, myriad ways,
The spirit dances, unbound and...

The Great Play
Did you see the showman,
His act a lion he outran!
Let me tell you how it all began,
When in youth he lived in a van.
Where the lion hunted,
For food it was confronted.
A sad tale it resulted,
In...

Pollution
Acid has become our rain
and oceans with mercury do we stain
dioxin lies beneath our ground
in everything toxic materials be found
E-coli is used to alter genes in food
where recombinant DNA is understood
heavy metals do the...

Dancing With the Stars
Mother Earth bearded with trees,
Blanketed with skin of sod,
Her stony organs composed
of caves, caverns and caches,
Banking precious minerals and gems.
Sustained by the Solar system surrounding her,
and nourished from relished rescources within.
Her ferocious fiery...

The Elephant's Grandeur
Where sun-kissed savannahs endlessly sweep,
And acacia crowns the skies, a verdant keep,
A titan walks, with earth-shaking tread,
A monument of grace, with wisdom bred.
Oh, Elephant, colossal and wise,
Your eyes, like embers, gleam beneath the skies.
Your ivory...

Moral Army
Moral army,
As always said," African youths
are well organised and disciplined."
Fighting with the westerners

It is not the calls or visions.
Everyone is tired to see dead bodies
of the innocent young...

Remnants of a Rainbow
"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces." - John Ruskin 1853

Through still, anticipating, plains -
Wilderness savannahs -
Chases earth’s ever sloping curve
Lost in time

Who Will Redeem You, Mother Africa?
Africa…. Just the mention of her name creates a range of mixed feelings
Feelings of joy, disappointment and rage, leave me baffled, exhausted!
So vast and beautiful is this land blessed with amazing contrasts

Linda-Marie and Happy Woman
Yesterday's loud welcome
Dance of the night.
Linda-Marie's dot pens
Celebrate the happy woman
and the love lair
Spicing the world.
But not just happy woman
The ribful happy man too
Whose rib gladened
And brought her forth
To rule...

Before they arrived, we were here
On the banks of the rivers and streams

Undergrowth with Two Figures - Van Gogh
Spilled from dew drenched petals,
an overflow of laughing ferns
warring with the still forms – graceful
amazed by the atmosphere of light
softly woven through the inklings, aglow
stirring winds beneath shadows
pouring from the twilight’s joy
softly threaded...

Ekphrasis
the queen of the Savannahs
In Savannah's heart, where wild things play,
A wanderer roamed, lost in a dreamy way.
He searched for wonder, for magic in the air,
And found the Queen, with beauty beyond compare.
Her eyes, like stars, shone bright and...

Urgent Desideratum
We are the keepers of hills
Of creeks and rivers and savannahs
Yet the shrills
Of the afflicted echo throughout the world
Filling Earth’s threshold with painful noise
We sleep amidst the desperate cries
Of animals, lands and skies, though
We percede...
