Ad. Saturday 0707 Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Jane Austen's sense and sensibility
Mr. Kumarmani's ardent attitude for all his divine poetry
Mrs. Juan-Austin's tender touching approach
Bernard seems a sobriety but inside he is sheer sensitve
Robert Murray Smith's emotive economical poetry
Dillip's quick runnings through his pretty poetic poems are quite pensive
Jez is a true creating credential
Elena is a disappearing dearest one
but her smiles and love here have not gone
and OMG where is the youngest poetess
her lovely smiling photograph reminds me of an oriental princess
she is pretty and pretentious
she does never fear, she is never anxious
many men regard her as beauteous

I started with a classic, I must end alike
residing in the Netherlands, a small country behind a huge dike
though only mills and short distances
this loved land is famous about its absurdic appearances
absurdic in the most prevailing poetic
like gay marriages, gender problems, male/female or not
one latest ceremony I won't easily forget, oh dear God

just returned from Ghana, having seen and listened to its slaves' history
the fervent guide told me Ghana is proud of its past and memory
once back to my country, it is celebrating grandest slaves past
ardently by the beautiful black community at last
about this grand celebration and my trip to Ghana is coincidentally
the same subject about Slavery from the past
I could choose the Wild Life of Ghana, also my preference
but instead, that slavery's past became my choice's benevolence
which classic poet or poetess to end my poem with, reality's fiasco
it will remain an enormous burden in my mind to leave this line blanco
no more any attentive alliterations nor beauteous brevity
so sorry, I apologize for ending this verse without the classic but with this lengthy.
