Ally Fred Skin Poems

    On that rainy day the lep crawled,
    for days it's been sessile.
    How splendours is the world,
    and you can barely move a mile?

    A name I'll live to recite like a love poem,
    I'll sing your name like it's a sweet hymn.
    I'll dance to the rythm of this song,
    Promise me you'll always sing along.

    On the Taita Hills, from my mom’s womb I come,
    It’s freezing, every morning is ice cold.
    In a small rock-made house and a farm to call home,
    Where 4 brothers’ and a sister’s arms will hold.

    I run and run, trying to get away,
    I flee on sight, terrified to death.

    For all the years of growing.

    The cold and long nights couldn't get any less brutal,
    Impact of the hard pavement with the ill-covered skin grew unbearable.
    Sunny and rainy days were both worse.

John Keats Poem
Sonnet Xvi. To Kosciusko
 by John Keats

Good Kosciusko, thy great name alone
Is a full harvest whence to reap high feeling;
It comes upon us like the glorious pealing
Of the wide spheres -- an everlasting tone.
And now it tells me, that in worlds unknown,
