Such is life


Poem Artwork

Mister, Mister, you think you’re so smart.
So you are a writer and, “Maybe" you’re good.
But you are not thinking just as you should.
You are a house husband, retired.
The housework and yardwork you need to do,
Without a complaint, I know you.

Dishes I will do and more for you.
Because I know the consequences,
An impromptu tongue lashing,
I will surely get I think.
As I stare sheepishly at the sink.
Never vehement,
But always succinct,


I love being married.

The bonds are extensive and ever expansive Walt. Menial tasks sometimes provide instant gratification if one is able to rise above the ache and pains. May peace and love be always with you. Jon Michael

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
