Three Poems|Peniel Gifted
COUNTRY BY THE RIVERSIDE
Here lies a country-
By the riverside of dolor
Tapping nutriment from
Runnels of Hades.
Her cubs sip from bass
In gushing songs- lunching
Beebread, tanks wailing.
Her husband- floater like a
Widowman, nesting at Bermuda’s
Bank, angel expecting- one day
My kindred soul will be back.
DARKEN DAYS
The days are darken
With bituminous wax and
Rays of the shades beneath.
Don’t know when Ningal
Will come for her urchins
And Sol bringing gram’s goodies.
In prickling nettles, we behold
The cockcrows as apiaries
Murmuring for amrita.
SLOW AND STEADY
Feed the Lunet
With cuisines from
Her grandmother’s kitchen
Slow and steady…
Dress her in the
best bib and tucker, in
Shining ten-gallon, scenting
Candies, slow and steady…
Furnish her in gusto, petting
Twayblades and pansy violets
Riding in the vault of his glints
Slow and steady…
