A Day in the Life of a Poe-Blogger


Image credit: google: poeems-and-poetry.com

As I trawl upon blogs, carrying with me
the fragrance of your thoughts
I stop by and marvel, your talents,
Like tributaries, flow eternally
A vast sight, picturesque

As I press Enter and see your blogs
 come to life, a certain child-like anticipation
Sweeps my soul, my toes tick, my eyes dazzle
My mind leaps with joy!
My world is lit!

Then as I read your blogs
A certain string of my heart is strummed
As if a telepathic message
 is relayed
I read on,
all sweaty, all expectant
I read the rhyme, I savour the limerick
I adore the haiku, wait, what an imagery!

Lovely, isn’t it, that
a poem as far as Kwa-Zulu Natal
Should make me burst into laughter
Somewhere in the woods of Kenya?

I only wonder how my ancestors
Would be utterly surprised
When I tell them,
“See this poem here?
The one who has written it
Is in Obamaland”
