Potential Poem by Ntsako Manhisa

An insightful piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely brought forth with conviction. A beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing Martin and do remain enriched.

i've read the Poet's Notes and understand it but the English is not 'perfect'. HOWEVER, you have great potential. Besides, i do not speak any of these official languages of South Africa! Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, SiSwati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu. OK, I AM INCORRECT; i DO speak a bit of English. :) (cont.)

I have what it takes Like the wild-tamed lions Dangerous but harmless But that is all there is great note great write great 10++

Th power of words combined with belief. A motivational poem...10+++

p.s. yes, Zulu, you too? if you have difficulties with, or other questions about PH, please ask. i've learned a lot about getting through some murky areas of PH. bri :)

(cont.) With wider wings But thst is all there is..i'm not sure of meaning of wider here. maybe widened/spread and flapping? and, of course, typo: thst ;) Qhubeka** your journey through poetry, out of boredom! ! bri :)

(cont.) the English is better in the poem, compared to in the Poet's Notes. in fact the English is very good in the poem, as is the 'storytelling'. congratulations on your first written poem. welcome to PH. on this poem page, the whole poem is NOT in the shaded area above the poem! hmm? did PH mess up again? to MyPoemList.
