Sandra Martyres Poems

Going back to the early days of Y2K
Almost one and all will recall the times
When conflicted analysts helped to propel
Flaky tech stocks to astronomical heights
...

1. The Rain Gods relent
Opening the heavens flood gates
To water the earth
...

The music of the seas
The rythm of the waves
The diving of the sea gulls
The sounds of the the fish
...

And God said
“Let there be light”
And there was light
To conquer the darkness
...

The Board Members never did realise
The effort and patience that went into
Keeping the dying embers of ambition alive
When they closed all the business doors and
...

He has once again raised his ugly head
Taking the shape of a deceptive desert serpent
His first port of call was the most talked about Emirate
Which he slowly but surely drew into a tight embrace
...

They placed their ears to the ground
to pick up the slightest sound
A nomad family was in the desert marooned
for days at the mercy of the sun and moon
...

The earth rumbled
Buildings by the dozen tumbled
With the hundreds trapped under the debris
Wailing like the proverbial banshee
...

Gold fish swim around
the glass fish tank peacefully
teasing greedy cats
...
