'O soete melodie wat droefgeestig draal...'
Amazing how we have to revert to our mother
tongue to express really deep feelings
'Duiwelsdrek en bitterasyn, die draak van
Drakenstein, belaglikheid op note…'
I shall have to stop frequenting commercial
portals, last time was when PoemHunter
was ill and went on a tragic blink; I was
tempted - My oh my oh my, to think
Of my meeting Tony Danza - just for that
reason I started writing poetry, of course,
and publishing with strangers and buying
crystal awards - 'Uit dieptes gans verlore,
Van redding ver vandaan' - I am sure
Afrikaans must touch your soul since you
always tell me my thoughts - 'Waar hoop
se laaste spore in wanhoop bly vergaan...'
