Notice of absence from NDOU ROLIVHUWA
Hello, I'm currently residing in a rural area with limited internet access. I rely on my prepaid data plan to stay connected, and I'm running low on data. As a result, I'll be temporarily unavailable until I can replenish my data or access a stable WiFi connection. Thank you for your understanding!

In guava's golden glow, I climbed with fire
But birds had savored, leaving naught but desire
I descended slow, with sorrow's heavy weight
When hidden wasps, in wrath, did stormy fate
Their stinging fury, I fled with frantic pace
And fell on rocks, with a bruised and tender face
The pebbles sharp, like tiny daggers did pierce
And in my pain, a lesson did take its place
That nature's beauty, with caution must be gained
And hidden dangers, with reverence maintained
Yet still I dream, of guava's sweet embrace
Though wisdom's lessons, now temper my eager pace

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a reminder that even in the pursuit of something beautiful and desirable, we must be mindful of the potential consequences. The guava tree's sweet fruit is a metaphor for the temptations and desires that we encounter in life. The poem cautions us to approach these desires with care and respect, lest we suffer the 'hidden sting' of unforeseen consequences. May we learn to appreciate the beauty of life's offerings while also exercising wisdom and discernment in our pursuit of them.
