W Poem by Alex Kadzitu

Whilst whistling away down the way
Watching trees sway gaily as always
A donkeys’ bray made my eye stray
And there you lay by the way not far away

Whiling the time away almost unwillingly
The leaves from falling, breeze swelling
I got the feeling from the way you were staring
Blankly into space not all to well were you feeling

Wrapped up in your own warp you seemed
Transported from yourself – poised, elevated
Far removed from the tranquil surrounding
I wondered what you were wondering

Whimpers escaped, I heard, felt cold: shuddered
Like a thunderclap that had shattered serenity
Amidst the long grass I heard you cry
That was the saddest thing I ever did see.
