Farewell to the City

Goodbye once again to the city that gives me lifetime stories in one incomplete weekend.

Bye bye to the colourfully vandalised buildings with rusty roofs and cracking walls.

Goodbye to the dirt on concrete, thieves who walk too close, old ladies with frozen hearts and unsmiling shop assistants.

Goodbye City I have a secret love for, for accommodating those I adore, for hosting the best parties, for my sweet adventures every time.

Goodbye stunning bright lights, the lullaby after the rough days in the wild of the streets.

My pulse is lowing down because I’m finally leaving.

This small-town girl is going home!

William and Harry, the lion cubs (Number Poem)

One day under the bright African midday sky
Two lion cubs jumped and played and in the sandy terrain they did lie
Three meter high grass, this is the place
Four great big rocks completed the course for the race
Five minutes later and they’re off
Six meters to go and William yells “enough!”
“That’s seven wins for me,’ pronounces younger Harry with a smirk on his face
“I’m sure you’ll make it eight one day,’ replies William as they embrace
Side by side they make their way to their pride of nine
“Ten out of ten for effort baby brother,” quips William ‘but next time glory will be mine’
