The song of booze-Rhyme in poetry.

-

 when a beer is cold,
the taste is good,
so i down a glass,
and another glass,
till i get to the mood,
of merriment wild,
when women dance,
to the song of booze
by which men are holed,
in the chamber of the loved.

Poet:Tatalia.

I am not a poet.

 I'm not a poet, Poetry is not in me, Though I try to be in poetry, But If I am the persona am the poem, And if it's a matter of writing I count on my pen, I wish I was one   I'm not a poet Or any lyrical wizard, But when I hold my pen , It vomits it's   ink , puting my emotions as words on a paper, And pouring my thoughts out through the writings,   I'm not a poet, Though i've had dreams , Of becoming one of the greatest writers, Like a warrior of words, Who use their pens as their sword and arrow, And their paper the battlefield,   I'm not a poet, Though I'm not giving up on being one, I don't know what being a poet leads to, But I'll try with a line , two or three, And if I'll understand what I'll be writing for, To my debut piece I'll write in lines of five,   I'm not a poet, Maybe am the poem, No, Yes, I don't know, But I leave it for my pen,   Am not a...

I WILL NOT

-
I will not weep, Neither will I cry, Even though I'm hurting, I will shed narry a tear. I will neither laugh Nor will you see me grin, Even though I am happy, I'll not bare a single tooth. I elect neither to eat, Nor indulge in drinking, Even though I'm famished, I will suppress the urges. I choose not to celebrate, Nor engage in hilarity, Even though I'm a winner, I will not showboat. I will neither kiss, Nor will you see me embrace, Even though I'm in love, I'll not exhibit my emotions. I will neither beg for alms, Nor will I borrow from anyone, Even though I need help, I won't lay bare my poverty. I choose not to sing, Nor will you see me dance, Even though I'm gifted, My diffidence carries the day. Yes I will not, For I choose not to.      poet: Njuguna kimungu   Thankyou for your participation in the CHEKI CHEKI poetry festival!, Get more informed with insights on poetry  here  and read on the theme for the wee...
