Innocence
Vhakoma curses out aloud
And scowls at the heavens in vain
While young Mpfari skips down the road
Her laugh mingling with the rain
I wrote this long ago in high school. I am still touched by the innocence of children and wish we could sace some of for them for adulthood.
You know, I haven't as yet figured how to write anything such that it looks the way you want. Line 1&3 don't actually rhyme while I wanted Mpfari's laughter to be mingle in a rhyme with the futility of "vain". It didn't quite work, but it was some time ago:-)
iLike kids
beautiful short...
The innocent. So lovely.
