Mamboing Past The Mambas Poem by Denis Mair

aspiration? i had the medical definition stuck in my head, having 'forgotten' the one which fits here. i actually understand this pretty well i think. and i like it enough. and it is SHORT! so my comment SHOULD be pretty short also. you use merry as a noun, like 'happiness'. i've seen this on PH before i think in a poem or message from another 'foreigner'. here (in U.S.) i would use it as an adjective, as in Merry Christmas, or merry laughter, but i AM open to new uses! i know what a mamba is; luckily i've never encountered one while crawling through the underbrush or tree branches! Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! To charm smiles from a gazelle-legged Muse..............a gazelle-legged Muse sounds inviting. and it sounds like the subject (person) of the poem (ghetto survivor) entered the world with the right survival equipment; he perhaps was charmed himself with 'gifts' of survival and beyond. to MyPoemList. bri ;)

A young man with a thirst for knowledge and kindness in his heart is a wise man in the making. Love the maneuvering around the mamba's. An uplifting poem that inspires.....perhaps a message to keep positive despite adversity and enjoy your hunger for knowledge.

I have read Edward Kofi Louis' poem'50 CENT'. Your poem is a fine poem giving tribute to Edward Kofi Louis for his great achievement in the face of immense adversities.Poverty, hunger or hatred can not deter a spirited soul..Thank you Denis Mair for your wonderful sharing.I too find in you a spirited soul often desirous of conquering the negative forces deterring our progress as a true human being.
