In The Star Studded Night Poem by Pheko Motaung

In the star studded night
The cunning storm clouds
Errupt and banish the night's
Peace to gloom in the godless
Depravity of the snarling sky

The screaming match of the storm
Clouds is calmed by the sweetening
Beauty of the dying cricket's lyric
The limbless flowers march to doom
The shamefaced mountains prepare in
Haste to hide the carcasses of the
Victims of the angry lightning strike

The guilty sky cannot hide his glee
In the relentless desolation wreaked by
Nature I am alerted to the staccato of
The warnings of my former lovers I am
Hounded by the lyricism of my loneliness
