Afloat I am, 
The blind horizon spreads to no end.
O river of rivers, 
The queen river,
Flow as you wish, 
Gather silt forever
That on your shores 
Men may harrow, then sow
The seeds of happiness 
And sorrow...

To unravel the secrets of the  Kanha forest reserve,
Midst the tall sal trees, our eyes scoured to find,
The elusive majestic striped cat, we've strived to...

A storm so strong can't describe.
Shaping wishes one after another, just
Like the beats that are created,
Each with its own pain,...

Many businesses were unoperational

Cut up wrapping paper
Paper wrap presents
Paper covered with bows ribbons
Ribbons silks new and old
Ribbons sparkle blue and gold
Gold yellow some in texture
Texture ribbons half inches
Inches celebrated wrap
wrap presents under tree

Is our Near East in Asia? Are Israelis "Asians"?
People from India are called South Asians
The same folk in Caribbean are East Indians!

We were worlds apart, yet when words were selected
Something special happened, and we became elected

Scribing writes of many, themes, topics
Amidst the Soup of our poetry posts
Via a climate cool and so very tropic

Writes were read, comments aplenty

Where tides  of  adolescence curdle--
And quite often, the ripples  mirror
The kind whispers and loud groans
From the blended flavors of  youth’s thirst,
Hungering  for its wild streams...

When they become me
And I become you
You'll be me again and again
For my quest to be sworn.

Die wind waai liggies
Jou hare is in my gesig
En jou wang is teen myne

Mag hierdie oomblik nooit weg gaan nie
Mag jy altyd...
