Traveling up an interstate highway
Round down about in a midwestern cove
Speedometer cruise control sets low
Going down interstate by the way
Full tank of E-15 gas, eating on a corn cob
Every reflective highway road marker
Sparkle even in the day light
Taking a break from daily mundane toil and job
Wheels spinning round concrete partials
Suns shining on asphalt heated hot bright
Traveling up an interstate highway
Round down about in a midwestern cove
Speedometer cruise control sets low
Going down interstate by the way
Mosey on down the interstate highway

The joy of winning a cup
Starts with lifting the thing up,
Acknowledging fans’ wild cheers
And shedding forced but real tears…
The joy of grabbing a cup
Skirting round: down to up,
With the Sports Minister sup,
Everything try plus hiccup,
Before Minister’s Teacup…
The Press tell ‘I hadn’t fears:’
Your team knew how to foes pierce,
All your kicked and lobbed balls ‘Spears’
Only victory sounds hears…
The joy of picking a cup:
Football cup, Basketball Cup -
Climbing shoulders of teammates,
In hand sparkling wine from crates…
Ceaseless acting of the Great’
Before the lens cleaning sweat.

Rolling
Round and round down the hill
Riding in a tire
Revolves like a windmill
Rotates faster faster!
Reeling wildly and shrill...
Rubber meets quagmire.
Remorse—after the spill.

By Parizo Van Thulare
Like the thunderstorm in my mind
It rolls ,seeking a way out
It crawls deep out of my pores, hoping to see sun
Burning as the veld fire
From my medulla to my spine ,the heat is felt .
In words rhyming like in a flog
Telling me to wake up and let in bleed
Round and round down my mouth
It wants to speak for the broken
The mender of souls
The healer of hearts
The remedy of doubts
This is POETRY in making
