Roger,

That was so beautiful. Looks like a sort of cosmic inspiration had made you write those wonderful verses. But since there is no inside or outside, there is no saying where that inspiration may have come from; I guess at best we can say it has come from everywhere. But however it is, I am marvelled at it. Congratulations on one of your most accomplished poems.

Sincerely,

Miguel

You are so right Luis.

Where this stuff comes from I don't know.

The cosmos is a little like my head. Nothing inside and very little outside.

I am sooooo jealous, my sister-in-law and her husband they visit Peru (flying tomorrow). They are on one of those whistlestop tours. Trains and coaches and very little time anywhere. At least they are coming.

My dream is to visit South America and Peru in particular. As a child I was fascinated by the volatile politics in Central and South America. I had dreams of being a Democratic leader who would bring stability. The foolishness of youth.

It wouldn't be the same continent if it was lacking it's vibrancy.

It's people like you Luis that look outward and see the world. Your kind and gentle spirit represents that other side of your continent and your link to the cosmic past and future is evident.

Your praise is always valid.

Hi Roger,

I agree with Luis you are getting cosmic. Sounds like you have been on the mountain of love.

Thank you Myrna,

I'm sure that my spirit often sails where I'm not aware.

I've been busy with som poetry.

Achievers step up

© Roger Macdivitt 2011

Step forward that knight

Defend your King

From those who would harm him

And chaos bring

.

Leap out that wolf

Protect your pup

There are pumas who’d eat them

So gather them up

.

Speak out that senator

Represent your elector

These are uncertain times

For a vote collector

.

Run swiftly young athlete

Compete for your nation

The margins get tighter

But a win brings elation

.

Listen well that counsellor

Assess your client’s needs

Listening is half the battle won

A good listener always leads

.

Sing out the solo singer

Inspire your choir’s voice

Make your confidence rub off on them

And instill the quality choice

.

Leaders, step up to the plate

Bring forth your greatest goal

Promote, support and encompass

The achiever’s special role

What’s the matter with Winston?

What’s the matter with Winston?

The truant officer asked

He hasn’t attended school of late

It’s six weeks since he entered the gate

I’m trying to help not interrogate

Can anybody help?

.

What’s the matter with Winston?

His best mates want to know

He hasn’t moved his bike for weeks

If anyone’s asked then nobody speaks

He’s more to tell than Wikileaks

Who was it saw him last?

.

What’s the matter with Winston?

He’s not answering his phone

He seems to have disappeared

Just like he always feared

When we just laughed and jeered

Where his fears proved true?

.

What’s the matter with Winston?

He’s not looking good

He’s lying so very still

He’s lying there like steak on a grill

Was it be killed or kill

Was that a good way to go?

.

What’s the matter with Winston?

I hear his mother say

As the police knocked her door

The answer shook her to the core

She really could take no more

Oh what a waste
