Colours of poetry
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Dress emotions most truly human
In bold italicized silk
And that’s poetry
Color a scene collage or mosaic
In shimmering liquid letters
And that’s poetry
Spray a blossom in full bloom
In dreamy wordy fumigants
And that’s poetry
Paint a clown of a character
In red-tinged adjectives
And that’s poetry
Calligraph the most elegant verses
In fonts artistic and alluring
And that’s poetry
Express pain most deep and soulful
In hot alphabetic tears
And that’s poetry
Laugh out loud exuberantly
In consonant vowels most delightful
And that’s poetry
Sing in melodies most divine
With sweet angelic syllables
And that’s poetry
Poetry yours truly.
