The Grass Looks Greener Over The Fence Poem by Pontsho PCP Pusos

Summer cowers from the threatening heat
Under the thick morula tree
And listens
To the shrilly cry of the restless beetle
As he wishes and prays for cooler climes
With their scary chills
Their barren gardens
And their starved animals

Winter hides from the searching cold
Under the thick kubu covers
And listens
To the stony silence of the lonely night
As she dreams and prays for warmer weather
With its blinding heat,
Its noisy siestas
And its sweaty nights
