I am a poet who shares her work online and in the print media. I teach English Literature in the university and I am also a lawyer.
Back then at school
We had life-skills
Every week we would be taught, the girls,
Handicrafts by a gentle, lady-like woman.
...
Like obstinate waves upon
a composed beach-
I pound on you, vertically,
I crash on you, horizontally.
...
Tonight I extinguish the flame
I've been holding for you_
Tonight the wind whistled,
Speaking of new directions-
...
A poem once came to me.
I was pouring water-
On my infant's fragile head.
I didn't want to lose count-
...
I have kept you in mind for greater things,
For greater times.
Like the seven wonders one reverentially
puts off seeing,
...
