Sandra Martyres Poems

Ram the ever affable Indian
And a very strict vegetarian
Courageously agreed to dine
With his overseas colleagues
...

Daily at the crack of dawn
He would sit in his armchair
Sipping a cup of
Cloyingly sweet tea
...

Goldilocks, of fairy tale fame
is now no longer
only associated
with having strayed
...

He was caught looking at a hooker
It landed him in a pressure cooker
With his wife letting out the steam
...

Torn between my Blackberry
And my little baby
Is already a tough call
But that is not all
...

At the tender age of fourteen
She was summoned to appear before
The senior women of the clan
All dressed in their traditional long cloaks
...

Soaring high
Birds of the sky
You know your way
Across continents
...

I look back on the days
When children attended school
For an all round education
When bankers were respected people
...

Like a green caterpillar
Trying to hide
By balancing on a stem
Between two green leaves,
...

A little packet arrived
Tied with a black ribbon
An ominous sign it bore
The name and address
...
