Verses (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Verses (Free Verse Sonnet)



(in answer to Johannes Prins)

Like mere young children my verses do follow me
and some do sometimes want to go astray,
that I have got to get them somewhere again
and so I do pass thousands of poems,
where each one does remain important to me,
everything is my own although I do translate my own verses,
see how some do become remarkable
where I do only get words from God,
where others do wander reckless through my writings
and I write each kind of form that I do come upon,
also free verse poems over which people do argue with me,
where some people do plunder the beautiful and strip everything off,
as if my poems do not deserve an own life,
or the voice that does come deep and direct from my heart.
