KEEPING APPEARANCES

She preferred eyes seeing the glitters

Than its internal shivers

Though the tears from the wall flowed

And its outside glowed

 

Some minds slowed

Wanting to know what all the glitters entailed

But she perfectly gave the watcher a warning detailed

To keep eyes from prying

And her from shying

In the midst of the buying

 

Now like a Frankenstein Monster

She is on the tongues of many wanting to jester

As one whose privacy, prejudice and pride

Made her an item to be fried

When the wall caved in on a road masses plied

 

At least the chicken will try

A dance among hawks, then  cry

To see if freedom is a possibility.

 

That is an ability

To commend, not a suicidal agility

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I think you make writing so difficult for yourself by always using end rhymes. I am sure you could write free verse too. It means you have less restrictions and can use world for sound effects e.g. half rhyme or alliteration. I think it would free up your expression to become even more vivid.

Thanks. I write free and blank verses too. When there are end rhymes, then it means a set came up. Trust me, those poems do not take me five minutes in writing. But I do get what you mean. Thanks for the comment.
