These children that I gave birth to are melodies so sweet they massage the listeners' ears
They sooth a soul so trembling that it reflects a guardian of faith
Their claws so sharp they they piece though artistic brain and sprinkle creative pearls
Hope is born to roam upon ballistic stages and gather enormous incomparable brain
These girls that I stood for them to lend their first sight upon
Injected by ideas and thoughts so powerful they exist only in imagination
Are singing melodies that reflect curse to the dull and blessing to art created ages ago
Upon these dark walls they bright so much they give new definion to illumination
My boys are giants to unspoken words arenas known to men
Their voices postures and gestures introduce a billion words song sung by multitudes
Their rhythm so enormous it drinks juice in skies of joy and leave it open
Their whispers so passionate women have been seen writing their aptitude
These words of art are so huge they drink oceans of creativity dry
They are so soothing they rhythmise positive brains and leave the devil to cry

About Me
- Orapeleng Picoyagae
- Became a poet at the age of 14 for competition sake, from the community with no poetry backround whatsoever and with the guidance of my parents I went on to win several awards. My work has been displayed in Vaaltar FM (Taung Community Radio station), Motsweding FM (SABC Setswana Radio Station) and Sowetan newspaper. I was a member of 5TH Grove (North West University, Mafikeng Campus poetry club) on its birthyear. My poetry is influenced by people I meet everyday, including other poets and ordinary people that I know personaly or otherwise. I have also written novels and Drama, and some of my work have been played by the group Chiro (now defunct Christian group in Taung) and Motsweding FM.
