Best Poems Written by Mowbray Jones-Nelson

The Jealous Thief

Running came the tiny ants
 Helter skelter they run about
 With shiver and quick heart beats
 Accompanied by fear
 As the pair of soles were fast landing without decorum

 The Hearts calling out to their Creator
 As the mice pounced on the cheese
 With such great enthusiasm and excitement feasting on it
 Sweetness of the cheese suddenly snatched
 Bitterness gracefully planted

  A Jewel pleasantly rusted
 A Crown jealously smashed
 A Treasure mercilessly stolen
 A Home burnt into a house
 A Red Apple tree uprooted and planted a Fig tree
 
 Bitterness instilled, Love eradicated
 White soaked in deep red
 Yellow soaked in black
 Green soaked in red
 Peace and Order stolen; rumpus invented
 
 The Clouds form
 The rain drops
 The elephant trumpets
 The crowd arrives                                
Why, Why,Why?, they ask

 The foxes disguise happiness
 The wolves disguise joy
 The dolves mourn
 The vultures gossip
Chip,chip,chip, the beaks move

 Peace is altered
 Joy is buried
 Love is crucified
 Sorrow is ignited
 The Harmattan winds have arrived.
