[SIMBARASHE MUDUKUTI]
As the sun rises,
So do my ideas,
Pen &paper in my hand,
Bend down to write,
For writing is my food & drink,
I fight with my pen,
Love with my pen,
I m a poet,
A round of applause,
For I m the cause,
The reason behind the pose,
Mind over head,
Pen over paper,
Ideas I spilt,
As gigantic word bombard the shieldless paper,
Through the gun barrel of my pen,
For you know the solider is here,
I m a poet

[KUDAKWASHE CHIWARA]
Worship not the wagon though its faries
Your king,
I m just a poet,
Do you care of a bird's broken wing?
Or just the song it might sing

I m just a poet
[ASHLEY MAWERE]
Forgive my lips for the words they never said,
It's not my heart you heard,
But words knocking from behind the locked doors of my chest,
The truth was meant to set us free,
But l was a fool keeping it captive,
Surely the daughters of selfishness led me astray,
Lady wisdom l m grateful that you helped me find my way,
Though l m drunk with emotions l hear you knocking behind my chest,
Let my lips be put on trial,
Let your voice be heard
So as the stage clears and the crowds wait,
I will introduce my self
I m a poet

[DONALD KUUTSI]
A POET with a pen,
A poet with a pen in his hands,
Ink and thoughts collide on paper,
Sonnets and ballads reducing the temper,
Fury fills the inner heart,
Starring at the mirror through sunglasses,
With fury in soul and thoughts,
Thoughts in solitude,
Without any solace,
Poetry liberate me,
Crawling between the stanzas,
In pursuit of happiness,
Taking a glance at the mirror l see a poet with a pen,
Ink and thoughts colliding on paper,
Thoughts and soul in Ecstasy,
As the pen and paper unveils the hotline of emotions within the poet's heart

[GAYLORD MUNEMO]
I was once surrounded by a punitive expedition,
I was once put into a corner of immediate extinction,
I was once denied of my fine poetic explanation,
Men came with weapons,
Guns,
Swords,
My lines were not mere,
Arrangements of words,
To them my words perspectives,
I m a poet,
A poet with a difference
When they shall so fight with swords,
I shall fight with my pen,
My words are strength to the weak,
And justice to those who freedom is objected,
Life to the victims of fate's anger,
I m a poet and so is my dream
I m a poet, so is my life

[Albert Sithole]
Through the fibers of life
And fingers of draconic existence
There flows the stream of my imagination and ponder
With a horizon from my dear childhood
And the craving of the words
Ooze out of my mind
Through my hand to the pen and paper
And relief comes upon me
The pen is my spear And paper my shield
Whenever I'm charged
The mind is the battlefield
Through me the minds are freed
I M just a poet, with a poet in hand!

[BENEVOLENT MASORA]
My utterance is the zealous words l catch in flight,
Those that flow in my hand with the rhythm of the ripples of my thoughts,
My pen being the intimidator,
Efforts dissolving on paper,
All evidence of my glory is the scars left on paper,
Quenching the thirst of those who are yet to find hope,
My letters as bold as the pioneering muse that unleash the courage of the meek,
My every statement finished with a period,
But a giant leap of mankind,
