Personification Poems

I may never know you 
But you music excited my heart
I may never know you
But your music make legend
I never knew you
It's that time a year again.  Were I miss you
I never knew you
I dedicate this Christmas to you...Read More

Sometimes our attention will turn toward some of God's special creations that may cause our hearts to skip a beat or take one's breath away.  Such was the case with me when one of God's choicest roses left me...Read More

December came dancing along
Implying clouds to play their pouring songs
Drenching land with affectionate warmth
Wrapping mountains in snowy calms
Enhancing bubbly streams with drizzly charms
Ornamenting rocks with elegant white tops
Draping valleys with delicate frills of fog
Soaking parched roads with indulgent mop 
Giving...Read More

She was the plainest buzzard in the chicken coop.
Man, is she plain, the roosters used to say.
But one rooster gave her a chance. They shared a nest.
She had diamonds in her heart. He told people
But they did not believe, for...Read More

WALL OF SILENCE
Poem by Koffi Mtonga

My courtesy name passed down through generations, I bear the marker of an outstanding exultation.
Though sometimes I wonder if they were tall as I am.
Board as a leader, Fierce and humble in person.
Sometimes me thinks,...Read More

I do not recall when this relationship began,
But it seems as if you noticed me before I noticed you. 
Every season you were changing just as I,
It was almost intimidating how I was always in your presence.
You were present through...Read More

Homage to Haiti        

  Haiti,I've loved you in my heart
since I was a child
for you, I'd like to live a long time

your lilacs sing your joy,
your jasmines,your daisies,
your carnation perfume enchants
your visitors

Homage...Read More

little coil
shiver and shake
tiny squeeze
squeak
tah dah tah dah

anaconda arrives
need any help? she asks
python hisses a warning
constricting a bit tighter

louder squeak, then silence
dinner’s eyes pop out

python smiles
not about to
share her
lunch
anaconda 
slithers away

We were told walls have ears
So we were advised to speak
In low soft whispers,
Lest our neighbours would hear.

We were told the night
Should only be graced in low volumes
As the silent night could give us out
While our voices could jump fences,
Or...Read More

I remember how my grandparents were when I was growing up. They behaved like every day was their last. They still held hands and touched every chance they had. They  showed each other that they loved each other every...Read More

A garden plant I am, for sure.
My showy flower clusters are so pure!
I creep along hills or a rock so pretty.
I spread quickly delighting kitty.

Low to the ground, I show off my colors.
My cousins can grow to five foot, but...Read More

Many housing builders fight over me.
My reddish wood is beautiful to see.
I have more than one common name.
Growing one hundred feet is my fame.
One of my names starts with Norway.
Can you name my other name today?

As she leaps on pink and satin cloud,
Beauty is with her, like a shroud.
In sunny mist, a twilight stream,
She laughs and frolics as in a dream.

Through slumbrous days and steamy nights,
She oft takes off on strange flights.
The dance is one...Read More

Whirling and dancing in limitless air,
One little, red leaf floated solitaire.
So sun-kissed, perky and full of grace;
Too soon it was far from its birthplace!

To the envy of leaves still on the trees,
It soared high o'er land, on autumn breeze!
Such heights...Read More

I am the biggest and the strongest of all the wild cats.
No I do not live in Africa. Sheesh! Why would you ask that?
You can find me in Southeast Asia, India too.
My cousins in Siberia would really scare you!

I scratch...Read More

I am a blank canvas
     My potential is
 limitlessness

  But that all depends
    on who holds the
brush, the artist

I have a little sting saved up for you
Because I am not fond of your species.
Most arachnids aren’t.
But I do not have to stay an arachnid.
I can shapeshift into knotted cords with lead spikes.
I can be found in the desert
Or...Read More

Over one hundred foot tall? Of course I could.
Many people pine for my smooth reddish wood.
An apartment house? Not quite my friend.
When used in construction there is no end…
Builders love me. I am sublime.
I am of course the Canadian Red...Read More

In the wee hours of early dawn
Beaver moon was shining upon
Spreading her earnest radiance 
On the lake that was calm
Her shimmer was silvery bright
Transforming darkness into light
Spilling her numinous beams
She brought so much insight

I am seeing you see
what you think was me
and you're seeing more
than you think you see

I am seeing you see
this soul waiting to see
another who sees more
than the essence of me

Within this image you see
this gaze confirms it is me

Me and me be a baobab tree,
yes siree

only a day to this coniferous body
Got a blessed budding life personality

This ancient root soul

With my absorbency nature
I take in freely God’s flowing grace
Accumulating with abundance from Christ’s compassion*-store
Optimizing the Saviour’s goodness as I’m soaked in His mercy-grants.

Midst my squeezable trait
I give kindness with whole earnestness
Loading out forgiveness with forbearance-cheer
Maximizing offered provisions up to...Read More

I dream of you coming close to me making my motor
accelerate, you see, it fuels the fire that lingers.

Using your sexy sensual fingers, you slide your key
to unlock my sweet door, opening knocking you of your feet.
Captivated by my classy...Read More
