Ruth Kamasungua Poems

Take a good look
At yourself
And do not compare
Yourself with others
...

Time runs
Like water
Filling in buckets of procrastination
And idleness
...

Fingers are placed
Gingerly, accurately
On the key board
The touching of the keys
...

The moon
A pale red
Glowing cookie
Pasted onto the
...

With wonder the universe
Appeared and occupied
Its position
As soldiers standing erect
...

The golden bird spreads its wings
And flies proudly
Against the crimson horizon
Like a lone flame dancing
...

Get your fingers right
Let the middle man
And the pointer
Hold one
...
