birds scatter
fire spreads through forest.

Violent movies are just not for me
Why are they popular with so many wannabees
A peace-loving dude
Really don't like crude
Enjoy nature films about flowers and honeybees...

Torturous wrath
Fire leads the way of destruction
Burns the rose path

Country


Called American folk,
country music’s genre
caters to tough big-rig 
cross-country truck drivers, 
cowboy wannabees and 
crooners; the blue-collar
corners of the country.

     With President Trump, no country should mess
        unless her leaders and citizenry crave hyper-stress

     Two weeks in office, he’s reined in three socialist wannabees
        Columbia, Mexico, Canada ~ already pleading, down on their knees

Wannabees always seem to know
who the really tough guys are
Their carriage indefinable
 though marked by every scar

The pheromones of conquest
 carried by the chosen few
Who rumble through the tallest grass
—swallowing what they chew

wildfire grips highland
like rolled furnace
exploding sparklers on night air

glares of blazed ecstasy crackle
leaves wear soot
while trees cough ashen blasts

In South Africa, we imitate Thanksgiving, even "Black Friday!"
Is it business or American culture-wannabees
I hear awkward Howdys; "How U doing?" Narratives of "space ...customer care"
Just as plastic bags decorate sidewalks, veld, pretty cities. Krag, "power,"
Is out more than "on," and the same for water "Loadshedding,"
One of of very own phrases, as with 'State Capture' by WaBenzi
The newest tribe that found state funds for that German car!...

California is burning with scorching 
blazes that destroy acres of land
and luxurious homes!


It's an Inferno where screams are too loud:
high winds have a wrathful force
and multiply dangers!


It's an evening without a red sunset...
trees fall and birds start fleeing:
beauty will turn into ashes! 


Don't be brave, never try to fight a blaze: 
escape from this burning hell
and pray for rain again!

Paula is the queen of the witches,
While some are just learning to fly.
Many are brewers of poetic broth,
And I sigh for Halloweens gone by.

There’s only so much space in the dark sky
On this single night of the year. 
Some will pick up their brooms and jockey for room
While the rest of us cower in fear.

It’s only the brave or fool hardy
Who join witches on a Halloween.
Some would rather be scared than one who has dared
And then nevermore has been seen.
