ek is...

Ek wil graag een van my gunsteling gedigte met almal deel:

ek is...
ek is die liggaam wat elke
dag met myself opgeskeep sit
en Hooglied lees.
ek is die pen
wat jou skryf, elke aand in my
boek laat rym.
ek is die stem
wat jou sing,
met lof in my keel laat woon.
ek is die oe
wat jou gestalte gee,
al is jy lank reeds weg.
ek is...'n normale mens wat
obsessief is oor die liefde.
jak de priester
Volgens my is Jak De Priester een van die mees talent volste kunstenaars in S.A. Hy het 'n manier om met woorde te toor.

BATMAN

As I was sitting here creating this blog, I thought to myself what on earth can I post on this blog? Do I have such an interessting life that other people would like to read about it?



The next minute all hell broke loose in my house. Like a scene in a horror movie Mr Batman entered my house. I know they say Africa is not for sissy's, but be realistic, bats are freaking scary creatures. The first thing that crossed my mind was to cover my hair, but then I remembered that is only a myth.



To me it was a matter of either me or him. I phoned my husband, he is after all the protector in the household, but the fact that he is in Pretoria doesn't help me or Batman much. I then realised that I have to deal with this scary/scared creature on my own.



The only other reasonable thing to do (being a woman) was to give my lungs some practise, every time this THING came close to me I screamed as if it was my last scream. I think I scared the poor creature so much that he decided to surrender, the next minute it just went to sit on my curtain, I then managed to catch it with a towel and I released it outside.



So I'm glad to report that no animals was harmed and that my voice is still intact.



Being Sunday night, I have to get my mind into work mode, this week is going to be very busy. I have a Maths test tomorrow night, and guess what? I haven't even started to study for it.



So, that's me for today.
