My dog, Jasper, is obsessed with the island in the lake where we walk. I often wondered what he was thinking. It might be this...
Fallen trees in shades of green
Willows over waters lean
The Cormorant attends his post
Of this fine place he is the host
Rabbits skipping here and there
Ducks and Moorhens gather where
The breezes 'cross the lake can't go
And birds fly hither, to and fro
Jasper, with his eyes aloft
Dreams of swimming to his croft
He stands out there at water's edge
His mind engaging in a pledge
To found a pirate ship anew
The cormorants as men and crew
Then purge the shallows to the north
And drive the ducks and moorhens forth
The birds that fly there, to and fro
Will find they're Captain Jazzy's foe
He'll leap and shout to halt their flight
Dancing around in sheer delight
Chasing rabbits east to west
Favours for the Captains chest
Then sheltered in his cosy keep
He'll settle for a well-earned sleep
Our youngster with his wistful eye
Suddenly emits a sigh
Across the lake where all is calm
No living thing has come to harm
And all the while from on the shore
He looks across and dreams some more
Of all that he could take in hand
On Jasper's very own Island

New Poetry by Ruan Mills
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!
