Richest Nation, Poetry by Donna Roberts

Genre: Political, Rhyme

Oh, A Nation of Assault
Whilst we’re all in default

Reminiscent of former cataclysm
Government locked the vault
how much longer shall we wait
as the grey haired fools debate
Listening to the tale of jobs they will avail

A generation of innovation is at hand
will they listen
So prosperity can expand
the families suffer
with little buffer

When healthcare is in despair
and college loans unfair
Senior citizens living on a prayer
Its hard to be aware
Do you Dare?
Do you Dare?

Corporate Greed is how they feed
starts as a seed, becomes a need
Dictate Dictate Dictate
Then they turn the table and
give the activist a label

They wont be happy till they are done
When no one can afford to have fun
There’s a lot pain
When your at the bottom of the food chain
In the richest nation in the world!

What If?, Poetry by Cindi Walton

Genre: Rhyme, Family Fantasy

—–

What if for a moment in time
I could go back to childhood where everything rhymed
Where silly cats sat on a broom
and mysteries surrounded King Tut and his tomb
Where magical fairies were real as could be
seen through the eyes of anyone three
Where the greatest delight on a warm summer’s day
was cherry Kool-aid and the cold sprinkler’s spray
Where trees were castles that one must defend
with knee scabs and bruises for mother to tend
Clouds became monkeys and stars with the moon
were watched eating ice cream dripping from spoons
Where bedtime hugs made everyone safe
and kisses on cheeks, sunburned and chafed
Where rules were in place to keep order and peace
served up with French fries dripping in grease
Boundaries for safety, yet freedom to roam
all in the backyard of that place I called home
Thank God for the memories that live in my mind
that take me back to a moment in time
(Cindi Walton 2017)

I’m No Poet, Poetry by Kuhle Sikota

Genre: Rhyme
—-

I’m no poet
I’m a writer
I write. I’m not perfect or imperfect,
though a persistent practical practitioner
who indulges in one of the most
prolific practices in post-apartheid.

I discovered, designed and distilled lines I Defined.

I perform, promote, possess
and personify poetry.
Painting pictures with still poses
and pasting alphabets on pages.

A dude who is done with rages,
and separated from dimwitted phases.

Let me get back to topic, and start moving…
moving… disturbing my still pose
and follow the rhythm of rhyme.
Let me riddle and write, yes,
ride on my rhythm or rhymes

I write, I wrote, I’ve written without fear of rejection
resolute that you will respect my resolve.

Yes that was poetry, but I’m still no poet..
