PREPARE YE Strangely a voice taken by the wilderness Carries through wind in supple willingness Through tree branches and sand dunes Air and sky lend ear to message strewn There is a visitor and he who is coming With his arrival will we be succumbing To seducer friend intruder guest or cheat Do we win him a feast of happy receipt Preparation observes to itself a season Rain or months brittle Dry lend reason Nuances of hope become ready corners Hearts of dust and grime let to scourers A boy in a manger to whom knees bend Offerings of health wealth and praise spend [Prepare Ye: First posted to my blog 'verses' 12/12/2017] |

About the Poet
I live in Trinidad of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; a
multi ethnic, multi religious society. I write poetry for the sheer joy of crafting my feelings, my emotions my thoughts. I enjoy the challenge of abstraction in writing haiku. Married to Anthony Cox in 1971; we have a daughter Yanda and a son Khama. I was born in 1950
First grandchild: a grand-daughter born October 2012
