Azanian Death Of Poetry
Parisab said:

I am sure you did for novelty’s sake, insight, and talent! These are the new puppets (I mean poets) of the “kings’” courts… I also can see the historical context of those nations that build up idols only to bring them down!

Words Unspoken

A real tear-jerker. Very well written. Often, people choose a way out that they believe conveys their message, yet will never know that it leaves loved ones in despair as well.

I don’t know why this takes me to that moment for Whitney Houston! Huge voice but not necessarily heard in the noise of it all-Thank you for giving voice for all those who have felt voiceless at times…

When Love Dies
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

Great poem o like how you have expressed yourself in this

It’s sad yet I especially like these lines


each shaping the other
like pieces of clay


where you and I once flew
a bright kite we called love


May the good coming rains
wash all hurt\'s tears away

Love the mention of that bright kite

Parisab said:

It had mattered not, if this poem was penned out of Love or Hurt. It is written with care in every descriptive stanza. Very exquisite…

When Love Dies
Garth Rakumakoe said:

Accept my gratitude, dear Nev... This piece wrote itself in many ways. To love is to hurt at times my friend. We live, learn, and strive to grow, and become wiser. It was one of those avenues. Sleep and blessings to you, from my window of the world friend. 🙏🏼
