People and events have triggered my emotions which expressed themselves in poetic form, not in any regular formal tradition more as an expression of ideas or feelings. The pattern of the poems came from the sound of the words in my mind not from any formal poetic arrangement. Ged

Draw Deep

Sometimes words are elusive, and frustration rules.

My words cry out,
Birth pangs of imagination,
Drying like a mud-crust
Round a waterhole,
Stamped on by the wild beasts of
The imperative,
Hungry for the water of life.
Their life,
Not my life.

The mud-crust dries, crumbles
And is carried away
On the winds of forgetfulness.
