I LIVE UNDER WATER ~BY MICHELLE ANDERSON

I live under water, I breath there all right,Where humans just simply and quickly would die.I walk on the bottom, the fishes there fly,Like birds in the sky, like knights of the night.

REFLECTIONS, THOUGHTS AND INTROSPECTION ~BY CHRISTINE PEEL

Launched with such unerring aim,Searing trails of lethal flame.Missiles carving deadly pathWith appalling aftermath. Direct hits and buildings fall,Burying deep beneath their pall:Broken bodies, injured , maimed,Shortened lives that death has claimed. From this danger ever nearPeople live in dread and fear.Bridges levelled, shelters smashed,How their lives are torn and gashed! Devastation, day by daySurely,…

IT WAS ALL DREAM ~BY AGBESI KOFI DERRICK

The whole thing started in the city cafeteriaWhen they met at the counter to cut a drink.Was she African? American? Many would ask and think.But she reminded him of the Miss Planet in his old college magazine:An eloquent curvy blonde with a seductive smile,Light-blue eyes, unblemished, glittering like diamond,rolling majestically in their sockets.And thick hair…
