As autumn plots to usurp the summer sky, and spring prepares to shatter winter's ice, poetry is written. So there, then! Here is a little feature regarding seasonal poetry.
There you have it; just a little feature on poetry regarding the seasons that I find stimulating. These poems evoke the senses: they make you smell the earth and air, feel the crisp cold or languid heat... They are wonderful!
Cheers!

Nanking cherry blossoms
in the summer breeze.

A brilliant cardinal sings,
Just because he can!

Unseasonable (tanka)Fall Winter and Spring,
Jumbled together this year.

Artists temperamental.

Loose golden strands that you watch dance

Making you want to tie promises to every single one

Hi guys!
I've been inactive for a while, just coming on to check my watches and such. Life's been a bit busy and a bit messy, and now I'm a bit tired, so I have decided to take a bit of a break - real life calls! Or something! So I regret that I will not be able to attend to Waka-Alive (https://www.deviantart.com/waka-alive), but, as I said, real life comes first. Meanwhile I'll be working on my novel, some poetry (it's been ages since I've written anything), my studies, I'm restarting to learn to play the organ... Uhm, what else? Stuff, generally! If I do write anything worthwhile I may post it here, but other than that and checking all the updates from the wonderful artists
Wheeeeeeee!
I couldn't think of a better title for this journal entry... Also, I do apologize for the rant in the last one... I got a little... Patriotic.
Anyhow: I have a question. Well, you see, I've finally started working on the fantasy novel I've been world-building for more than a year now, and I've actually kind of finished a prologue. I'd like to know if you guys think I should publish it here. On the one hand I would love the feedback, but on the other, it is still a vague work in progress and I'm a bit wary. So, verdict?
Just as a little sneak peak thing, here is a small drawing of one of the characters (note: I am not a great visual artist):
Je Suis Afrique
Alrighty then, time to rant!
The world is full of atrocity, everyone knows (or should know) that, but it seems that when it comes to my dear Africa, no one bats an eyelid. I'm going to start off by saying that this article sums it all up pretty well. But seriously.
Let's start with a fun one! Everyone knows of Ebola, right? Remember when that one guy was diagnosed with it in America? Of course! Why wouldn't you? Suddenly Ebola became a massive crisis, even on my beloved continent. The Ebola death toll is just over 10000... But then again, the Malaria death toll is around 584000. So, why isn't Malaria a big deal?
Then, of course, there is a
Oh, but that I am: a fool!
Life is weird and annoying.
I must apologize! I'm on and off and on and off! (From the top, with feeling!) One minute I expect life to calm its farm, the next it's doing the cosmic macarena all over my unsuspecting face. So I apologize for my sporadic activity: just like South Africa's current electricity situation, you should expect me to be on and off at random.
But, alas! Things are weird. I have a ton more responsibilities... Well, actually not that many, I'm just lazy. I'm somehow a representative on the student council for the department of moderns and foreign languages, I'm currently writing a treatise that, as I have been told by ce
