Kudzai Mahwite… Calamity Do Fly Away

Posted on December 27, 2015 by randomlyaccessedpoetics

Calamity Do Fly Away

All do lament with backs bent,

Some justify as fate sent,

All do dissipate as had been rent,

Like true gormandize in lent.

All are complacent in Genesis,

Feign to truly envisage the nemesis,

Wit be fled from true analysis,

Trouble hath entered their premises.

Later full-blown fever does afflict,

Strange now why not predict,v

Soul and body left derelict,

Trouble hath entered their premises.

Come forth Angel with good tidings,

Real relief come to break all their bindings,

With aid comes capital for future prospects,

Trouble hath gone and come profits.

Kudzai Mahwite is a young Zimbabwean poet inspired greatly by the works and life of William Shakespeare. He is an Economics student and as part of his studies runs a small-time blog on the African Economy. Kudzai is also a Sportswriter with Football.co.uk.You can follow him on Twitter @sir_tos.

Pijush Kanti Deb… Bearing A Grudge

Posted on December 20, 2015 by randomlyaccessedpoetics

Bearing A Grudge

Bearing a grudge-

a poor intention of a heart,

maybe, rich in good wishes

but ought not to be run down,

in putting two and two together

one can see eye to eye

with the mortals and the immortals,

“Bearing a grudge is sin-less.”

The morning –air-

free of dust and dirt

but not of grudges.

Temple, church and mosque-

the devotional catapults,

start throwing grudges

of all professionals and their counterparts,

wrapped with contradictory prayers,

filling the air and the sky with

the sound of the silent grudges,

“More please—No more please.”

Ought not to be surprised at all,

even the prayer-loving God

forgets to make a figure

and stands in the crowd for a prayer-

full of grudges expressing His longings,

“More sorrows— More prayers.”

Bozena Helena Mazur-Nowak… Sunrise at the Seaside

Posted on December 13, 2015 by randomlyaccessedpoetics

Sunrise at the Seaside

wrapped by the night

swathed in a shawl of memories

filled with love

I froze on an empty beach

with feet mired in the soft sand

staring into the abyss of the sea I can see how

a soft golden-orange sphere

emerges slowly, and majestically rises

spreads its arms above the horizon

cold night slowly dissolved in deep blue depths

golden rays bring warmth and hope

surfing on the backs of the waves

tenderly stroking the coastal rocks

tearing through pine branches

pouring on the dunes

tickling crumbs of amber and shells

scattering on the beach

enriched by the another dawn

ready for sparring with a new day

I prepare my heart for another lonely night

Louis Marvin… On A Quiet Sunday Morning

On A Quiet Sunday Morning

Oh slight wind blow

good morning birds-sing song of life

The organ and the choral groups

fly from the speaker

on the public radio

church music show

I heard the morning sounds of the military chapel

piano player practicing

the chaplain and I

making twin urine streams in the head

There is a tock, tock tennis ball sound

at a Pearl Harbor tennis event

for kids

Louis Marvin-tour guide-poet-gigolo born Burbank, raised hell phoenix, lives/loves the Chinese girls in the pacific island read a poem where the Gin Blossoms played in Tempe, AZ (no one threw a bottle or up)
