Premium Member The War of Words

Listen to poem:
Mine's bigger than yours
I shout louder and longer
Jump-in interuptus
deterent be damned
I'm gonna have my say.
Mutual self-destruction
is on the cards.
Attrition balition,
siege swarming,
your flanks are weak.
You're not listening, are you?


Premium Member Backgammon

Black plays red in age old battle
A click or two as dice are shaken.
Collect your thoughts before moving
Keeping a close eye on the count.
Gammon could be on the cards
As you counter move against Red.
Much jubilation as you hit a stone
Marching Red quickly to the bar.
Oh no, back in with a vengeance
Now Black becomes the under dog.

her outstretched fingers peek over Table Mountain new day on the horizon something we embrace heat envelop everything she’s spreading sunshine today melodies so sweet harmony is on the cards as birds herald her presence children’s laughter heard sunlight in all her splendor one and all join in the fun

Swan and Betel Floating Race

Rabbit vs turtle,
The old running race,
Another race is on the cards-
Swan vs betel,
The floating race,
Betel means winning leaf,
Like the old rabbit in belief,
The finishing point is nearing,
Both Swan and betel in the hope of winning!

My Tears

The meeting of the minds
It was on the cards
The rebirth of humanity
It was on the tip of the ice breaker

Sometimes you have to swallow a lemon
In order to make a lemonade
Sometimes you have to mix sour and sweet
In order to emphasis the taste buds

Waking up is the beginning
Getting up is sweeter than honey
Proceeding towards is flexing the muscle
Holding it, is indeed an honour that should be embraced


Time In the Fields

No room on the fields to plant one's name,
Filling in the fields part of the game,
Not being able, only adds to your shame.

Faking it the only way to go,
If at filling in forms you are slow,
And you want to make it to your show.

Being timed out always on the cards,
Even for the die-hard's,
Or those without nerves.

If you still insist,
On refusing to resist,
It is no good shaking your fist.

While a hard copy,
May seem sloppy,
You will have time for a coffee.
