A poem on Immigration

Hello all! TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday!)! I came across a video on my Facebook news feed a few days ago and upon watching it I realised it was a poem talking about immigration. It  was beautifully written and read by Deasy Bamford whose video became viral almost overnight after posting it. Continue reading

Really Look at Me!

Hello readers and followers. Have you ever felt sometimes like people are not truly looking at you and who you truly are but only looking at you from the surface? Well, this poem reflects how I have felt in the past and sometimes even now. Some people tend not to see the real you below the surface, which can be a real shame.

Alone

Hello readers and fellow bloggers. It’s been a week since I last posted. How are you all? Today I just wanted to post a poem I found interesting and that was written by Allen Edgar Poe.

The way he saw things and his passions it was different from everyone else and so he was alone. Well at least that is my interpretation of the first lines of the poem.

Knock Knock…

Hello, followers… readers… friends. I want to say thank you to all those who have wished me a happy birthday on Thursday. It meant a lot. I’m grateful to have you as my friends. Thank you again.

It was not the type of knock knock I was expecting either. No jokes here whatsoever, sorry. In my opinion it is very serious but touching at the same time. Take a look at the video below.

Contradictions

Hello everyone. Today is my Writing Related Fridays and so I would like to share with you all a poem called Contradictions which is another poem, like my poem Wounded, that was not taken from my poetry book I’m Only Human.

I wrote this some months back and was thinking that some point in our lives we all contradict ourselves do we not? Sometimes do you not find you are contradicting yourself? Having two beliefs or doing and saying two different things that contradicts what you just did and said before?… So far I have not read a poem that talks about contradictions. so I decided to write it myself. 😛 Continue reading

It’s been one month since I have returned home

mango treeHello, ohayo, buenos dias, bon dia, bonjour, goedemorgen! How is everyone? Are you all doing well? I am fine as always 😛

I just got back home a couple hours ago from Jouvert Morning which usually starts at four in the morning, but I left home a little later and it stopped at around 7.30 am. I mentioned on Wednesday that this whole week has been Carnival week and it is almost coming to a close where Saturday and Sunday is the final parades where people dress up in costumes and dance around the capital, The Bottom.

Anyway, I wanted to make a blog post yesterday but due to the internet not working properly I was unable to post a anything, so I’ll be doing that today. Today is the 1st of August and it has been a month and a few days since I returned home on vacation. Continue reading
