Afrikaans: Essays en poësie
My passie.My woorde spat in goudgeel vreugdes / teen ‘n wit doek vas / of soms in donkerbuin en karmosyn,
HaikoeSkemeraand sluip sag / dagbreek giet goudgeel kleure / ver knipoog ‘n ster
HerfsvreugdesAs herfs sy bruine en sy gele / en sy pasella rooi / oor my werf in warrelende blare strooi
DesemberSaligheid en vrede hang saam / met die skoon lakens / aan die wasgoeddraad,
‘n Koue frontSnerpend stoei die wind / bolwang straat-af. / Gekreukelde koerante / wapper en klou aan beton
My siel se maatNes voëls in vrye vlug / wat swenk en swaai deur bloue lug, / of blare aan ‘n boom, / ‘n somermiddag loom
Die briefIn regte vulpenwoorde / op vlaktes wit papier / lê ek gedagtes neer: / vertel van nou en hier
OmdraaiOp my eie voetspore / het ek al dikwels / weer teruggeloop / en onthougoed van gister / soos ryp granate / loop afpluk / en oopbreek
Die wagkatVroegaand het ek seker gemaak alle deure is op slot en grendel, warm aangetrek…ja, dit was ‘n koue, alleen winter!…. en onder d…
Eendag, anderdagAs ek eendag oud is / (erg gekreukel en verkrummel) / en op ’n klein ou hopie lê, / sal jy steeds die mooie dinge / wat ek so graag…
Ons liefde blomEk pluk vir jou ‘n blom in Matlabas / die geur daarvan / klou aan ons vingers vas
JyHoe stil / is die nag / in dié / lou môre-uur
Depicted here – my first published work, a book on Afrikaans poetry published on 20 August 2010 – truly a labour of love and a dream come true for me! ISBN 978-0-620-46975-3
On the cover is a photograph of one of my own paintings – again, what a wonderful moment to enjoy the fruit of my labour captured in two memorable and lasting mediums. This is truly more than any artist could ever hope to aspire to!
May I take this opportunity to thank all who inspire and encourage me in my work – I am sure that many of you do not even realise that you are a part of this, but I thank you for all the special moments!
This work took approximately two years to complete, with the printing and layout taking exactly nine months – perhaps there is a special symbolism in the nine months, as to me this is truly the birth of something wonderful!The book is available for sale. (you can bmail me for more info)

I love that word “huppel”. Had forgotten that joyous word. I used to do a lot of that down the street when I was little. Occasionally even do it now lol :-)
What a warmhearted and very welcome comment!! Mag daar elke dag ’n huppel in jou stap wees!! Thanks so much!;-) – Elizabeth Kendall
