Gert Strydom Poems

I knew a gorgeous blonde girl that thought
that she was stuck to her thirties
and some injections,
some erotic exercises,
...

I did go to the church today
and the minister
and elders and deacons
were there
...

Musso my ginger Persian cat
lies stretched out
and sleeping
on the box of my computer.
...

If I could make the big orange sun
hang forever
over the horizon
and the magic colours
...

I dreamed of you
last night
and the coldness,
woke me up
...

At times I wonder
what the Almighty’s plan
with my life is
...

It happened to me
that a car salesman,
or a policy vendor,
or even family or friends
...

I walked into this Vista
to work there
and the garden was beautiful,
but in such a place
...

The smell of coffee
that is boiling in the early morning
goes right through the room
and it reminds me of you,
...

People with light orange cloaks
comes pass in a jolly procession.
There are two hitting drums
and one sings over a loudspeaker horn
...
