PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Written in a wildly sober period of the night & day.
You tell me what it all
means....
       ?

I dedicate this sad poem to all the victims of that heinous terrorist attack on America, September 11, 2001. This infamy shall never be forgotten. I pray with millions of Americans and decent people all over the world that justice will be served, and those who perpetrated this incomprehensible inhuman act will pay for all the suffering they have caused. May God bless all the victims, and those heroic firefighters, police, authorities, & common folks who, through their extraordinary acts of personal heroism make mankind worthwhile. May God bless America.

A translation of my Afrikaans poem, "Feesnag", with inspiration by my poet friend Venetia Myburgh.

... waarheen het sieletjie so ver gereis?

Soms streel 'n geliefde stem swart skaduwees tot sonskyn ...
