Gert Strydom Poems

Sometimes you let me think
of a small girl
whose eyes are full of the shining stars,
sometimes I find
...

People expect the end
of this planet
to occur at Armageddon
...

The hunter’s.308 Musgrave hunting rifle
lies next to him in pieces
in the faint light of the hunting lodge
where he is cleaning the weapon
...

Easter
when Christians come together
to celebrate Christ
rising from death,
...

If science can make
all magic things just trivial
and give explanations to all,
cause the rainbow
...

When I go to the mountains,
witnessing Your wonderful creative power
in nature
it is clear that You keep Your hand
...

Every time that I visit
a casino
the sign admission restricted
catches my eye.
...

If you walk with me on the promenade
and see the setting sun marvellous and red
while the night sparkles and the sun goes to bed
dipping behind the horizon,
...

Impartially the hand of Odin
came down
in rage and thunder
among mere men,
...

What will others know
how it is to loose animals
that are like children
and with the passing time
...
