OUR POETRY ARCHIVEAt the eleventh hour When everything goes sour There is a power That can shower Rains on your flower. A bit of mockery At the bakery, A bunch of flattery At the gallery, A whole diary All, make up poetry. When you cannot thrive Despite the strive Remember the hive, It must not be five Before you archive. THE EMPRESSES THAT RULE THE INK The poetesses Who always think The prophetesses Who never sink, The princesses Who wear pink, The priestesses Who never drink. The duchesses That do not stink, The deaconesses That also link The actresses Who do wink The lionesses That never blink. The tigresses That never shrink, The empresses That rule the ink. WE ARE TALENTSWe are talents Real, we are. We appreciate cultures Abuse, we detest. We love values Morals, we preserve. We cherish decency Modest, we play. We are talents Good tidings, we herald. We live respect Logic, we reason. We are sages Discipline, we impact. We are wise Principles, we imbibe. We are prophets Futures, we tell. MY NEIGHBOUR, PATMy neighbour, Pat Has a hat For her cat, And a mat For her rat, Though she is fat She puts up a combat Against the bat And she loves that. ORACLEThere is an oracle With a miracle, Higher than the pinnacle Which will make you twinkle. Then your brand And your band Shall stand In the land By your hand. And the cord Of discord Shall flee your world As you lord Your word In Concord. CLEAR HER DILEMMAAn art so wondrous Divine in every sense, A creature so elegant Creative, gallant and immaculate. The bravest of creation Smart, strong and sound Loving, caring, lovely, careful The woman, a little god. Homemade, homemaker Groomed and grooming A confident confidant A loyalist and a faithful Submissive, calm and resilient. Pure, genuine companion Quiet, honest giver Fair, jealous lover Godly, decent soulmate. Save her the drama Heal her the trauma, Clean her the stigma And clear her of the dilemma. PEACE BE STILL peace, why drag supremacy
And fight for superiority? Why crush silence And break thine sheath, That we remain at war? You waylay unity And make skulls, your crown You ambush growth And arrest development, Peace, why hate thyself When you are a gem? Barefooted, you wander afar Thirsty, you stand aloof Hungry, you sink beyond Lonely, you stray away Peace, why art thou gone? Come, peace come Return, O peace This earth is broken This world is bruised, Come, heal the air Come, sweep the land Return, O peace, Peace! Peace! Be Still!
