MICHAEL GEKETA
An entry in The Crocodile Prize
Kina Securities Award for Poetry
Once a PNG poet
Sought poetic insight;
He fronted at UPNG,
The academic sighed.
Write more!
He inspired.
See the rainbow?
Go paint your prose
In seven hues
Feel the pain?
Express your stain
In good or bad vein
Taste your brain!
Lest it’s sweet or bitter rhyme
Hear the pitch
Of sharp or low stanza?
Smell the shame
Of repulsive scene?
Go explore your ingenuity
So mine your mind
He conspired.
