SONNET A Spanish ship came nigh the shore and slowed. The dusky native worked in his simple field. It was soon to give up its golden yield Of maize. The Spaniards landed, harsh, and strode Contemptuous of this simple lad. They rowed Back to their ship with him. In fear he sealed His lips. His captors ' ship took him far from his field. Far off would the ship disgorge its cruel load, For these were slaves. The Dons had need Of men with iron thews to work their lands. These men would toil like cattle for the overseer While he urged t hem with blood-mad whip. More speed! ' Twas long ago. Ho more are men like spans Of oxen worked, for now all men are free. - Robert Munson XIA- LAKE METIGOSHE I had vacationed there for fourteen days. The beach was short, say five square yards or more, The gulls above the reaching pines did soar, Their shapes made visible by the sun’s last rays. The dark ' ning eastern sky, a smoke-like gray, Shut out the thought of bitterness and war And breathed of peace, which thoughtful men adore. A family of ducks, now on the bay Did listen to the Lord Lovat’s lament Which flowed, with all the snoothness of a cloud From father’s Highland pipes. So, sad but proud, I turned my back upon that blissful scene, And home toward the man-made city bent , To dream of more days like those that I had seen. -Bob Moffat XIA -- BRIEF STQ RM No-one foretold this paradox of night, No prophet’s vision saw the demon come, Thus unforeseen more frightening in its might. Our only warning was a beauteous one: The dull dark grass took on a luminous sheen, Each blade an Arthur’s sword of glowing green The whole world seemed to hold its breath, entranced, Astounded at the glory of the scene. Then rudely flashed a crooked white hot streak The thunder played a loud accompaniment Then sheets of rain, then hail, another streak. But soon its peak was reached, its anger spent; The storm, appeased, grew drowsy - slunk away, And all was peaceful till another day. Ann Neaves XIA
