My Time Is Now

The starry night,
Put me on a Trailblazer,
Walking through a crowd,
Without making a scene,
Of all the people I have seen,
Is there a place where I have been,
To a corridor where I have been there since,
I give myself a triumphant glimpse,
Until the eclipse,
Overshadowed by the blink,
It is not what it seems,
I did not play a game,
For bringing myself to blame,
I am riding a flume,
I didn't see myself as playing the flute,
It is not my haute but my forte,
To be me in my shoes,
The right size is not mine,
For someone so kind,
I didn't mind,
To give up my thrown,
To others who are someone,
That I admired.

Urban Afforestation

Condors and skyscrapers
Concrete walls and glass walls
Are outstanding landmarks of a city
Blocking the view of the sky and greenery
Cars and heavy traffic
Highways and flyovers
Add to the hazards of pollution
Urban afforestation is needed
To embellish our environment
To purify our environment
Greenery gives us spiritual calmness
and freedom
Soothing our eyes and souls
A reflection of purity, life and vigour
Shrubs and trees along the roads  and in the gardens
Are nearer to nature and its beauty
And the origin of life

Cooking

Cooking is not a simple chore
In a closed up world of a woman
From purchasing, preparation,cooking
To cleaning up
A one-man-job
But ask for food varieties 
Boiling,baking,steaming,roasting
Frying,pickling,seasoning,decorating 
And a nutritional balancing
All are not that simple 
To please 
Not only the tongue
Choosy is the food
Choosy is the work performance
Choosy is the input
Choosy is the output
The so called an outstanding task
Of a simple woman
Waiting to be admired 
If not by a man's heart 
At least by the taste buds 
And the eyes too
Maybe the miser
As there are no sale's tax 
And consumer's tax too

The Outstanding Story

Standing out in a field of outstanding corn
Swish found herself standing in line for the outhouse,
which was located way out in the back forty.
It actually stood in the middle of a corn row crop circle
Also in the line for the loo was an alien who was outstandingly blue.
Swish was too shy to engage him in conversation,
Wishing his far-out-ness would leave in a spaceship
He thought Swish's shyness was outstandingly endearing however
And decided to stay until she decided to speak to him.
Not realizing her shyness was not the only thing standing in the way
Her thinking was not far out, so she had closed her mind to him.
An outstanding story to tell their grandchildren, but alas, he left
in his rocket ship before she could warm up to him.
She was standing in the middle of the crop circle,
Denying it had happened, not realizing she had missed a soulmate.

Outstanding Melting Warmth

Determinately mean, sometimes severely cold can 
December be.
But never does the love the sun has for us weaken.
In the aftermath of a snowstorm, there it is.

Be Outstanding

Be outstanding 

Forget the crowd
Follow your spirit

I tell you no lie 
You cant loss
Your destination 

If this be your way


Is obvious the crowd 
Is been fooled 

Is obvious so many 
In the crowd are lost 

So follow what is right 
Don't grow to please the world

Instead grow to be 
Who you are 

Only this can make  you to
Be outstanding

Be A Better Putter 
Be A Better Putter

Was with naughty iron that is a nine,
Which some say has become benign;
Balls seem to be slow as molasses;
Do need to take many more classes.

From golf course she would be cut;
Played never learning how to putt,
And you should see her terrible scar,
Received for not ever making par.

Received setback and major mishap,
When ball would end up in sand trap,
And occurred a complete catastrophe;
Drove ball hard from tee into a tree.

To avoid all of the trash and clutter,
She then tried to buy a better putter;
Terrible putts did drive us all insane;
On course brain and golf bag remain.

Outstanding Inspirational Women

Inspired by Kath Walker, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Emily Dickinson

Ella you captured me
with all of yours I read
Curled up with all your poems
How they touched my heart and head
Though some they may not agree
Hence they were left behind
Your character was flawless;
With all that you had signed.

Emily I do begin
To search my very soul
Deeper now with all expressed
You always showed control.
When thoughts of you
And all I feel
Clouds roll away in space
Though life and death and how so strange
You always kept your grace.

Aunty Kath you mesmerised-
Many who did read
Educated, solidated
Poetry of seed.
Igniting stories into print
Leadership prevailed
So so strong and all along
With all the words detailed.

Who would I be if weren’t for three
And many more I read?
Compelling such emotions
Academically ahead.
Uplifted me with poetry
To ponder such well versed
To read between the lines of three
Great women, how they nursed…
Life, Love, Humanity
All which we’ve all been blessed
Mothers, Aunties, Sisters and
Immortal Poetess.
