Be mindful of the moments that pass you by.

Sitting silently
A monk in meditation
In and out, of breath.

Stop sitting pretty | a Haiku

Posted on June 16, 2020 by Lazarus Shatipamba

Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind.

stop sitting pretty
on the throne – your comfort zone.
it’ll get you no-where.

A Storm | a Haiku

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Lazarus Shatipamba

If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
Henry David Thoreau

a storm is brewing
the wind is picking up speed
clouds are gathering

The clouds passing by

At a slow creep like a snail

Are about to wail.

Talking Poets

Posted on October 7, 2019 by Lazarus Shatipamba

When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.

Poets talk in pictures
Because words simply don’t do
Justice to poetry.

For Profit

Posted on September 17, 2019September 17, 2019 by Lazarus Shatipamba

The real opportunity for success lies within the person and not in the job.
Zig Ziglar

You gave me your love
Free of charge like a prophet
That’s benevolent.

And i
Sold it for a few bucks
Just to make a profit.

Creeping Cold

Posted on August 28, 2019 by Lazarus Shatipamba

Winning is the science of being totally prepared.

Cold cautiously creeps~
Deep into my page white bones~
Making my feet freeze~

And my scarf blow in the breeze
A snowman at ease.

The Metro Horse

Success doesn’t come to you. You go to it.
Marva Collins

Standing in the rain
Horse at a metro station
Waiting for a train.

The Day I Stop

Posted on August 14, 2019 by Lazarus Shatipamba

For tomorrow belongs to those that prepare for it today.

When the sun rises
In the west, sinks in the east.
And the sea swallows
A mouthful of our rich land-

Then will i stop poetry.

Birds of a Feather

To see whats in front of ones nose requires a constant struggle.

George Orwell

Birds of a feather
Flock fly together in the
Blue sky high above.
