Allowing a story to unfold

Hello all!


I'm late...Perhaps I should re-word this statement. Ladies you catch my drift...


Those who have read my previous blog in celebration for National Poetry and the Creative Mind day would recall that I was going to post one of my poems...


In this context I am late.


The inspiration for this poem was in response to the recent load shedding (for all those not living in South Africa, this is not a literal as making a person's load less, but rather electricity interruptions). This has sadly become a South African constant over the years.


Not quite along the theme of 'Electricity' by Dua Lipa.


So without further ado, victorious people, please see below. Give me a shout-out in the comments below. And as always feel free to share any of your poetic creations with BeBOLD and our readers.


Sans Electricity

" You make it possible to light up the world

You are vital but yet we take you for granted

You provide security, warmth, joy and laughter...

- But now all is quiet -

We whisper 'don't forget us'...

Feeling like a long time friend has just vanished without warning

Pleading 'come back to us', don't become a stranger

We won't overwork you till you are burnt out.s time

We won't overwork you till you are burnt out.

Provide us with that spark...

- One click -

Harmony restored. "


My creative expression for the day - hope you enjoyed reading it, because there's more to follow!
