Kojo Baffoe – Don’t Stop
Is it strange to have a favourite poem, that you wrote? Well, not necessarily wrote but you were there and the pen was in your hand. Who knows where the words come from. Are we merely channelers? Vessels through which greater, higher beings speak? This is my favourite poem. And I was there when it...
Who’s Your Daddy?
I’ve always wanted to be a father. To be honest, the idea of offspring was always easier to digest than the partner to create that child with. For some reason, I’ve always believed that I will make a decent father, but it has, up till now, been a theoretical exercise in self-evaluation. I also...
Urban Soul Poetry Slam Videos
On May 29th, I was a judge at the Urban Soul Poetry Slam held at Maponya Mall in Soweto (video of winner, Buthelezi uploaded last week). It was actually in Ster Kinekor and it was the first time I've been at a poetry event that had to end quick because there was a movie starting after the show....
Urban Soul Poetry Slam Winner – Buthelezi
I've never really been sure how I actually feel about poetry slams. I had the opportunity to tour the UK in 2006 as part of Hammer & Tongue's Four Continents Poetry Slam Tour and that was fun because it was the same 8 poets, grateful for the opportunity to share our work. I just find that, in...
Taalam Acey – Love/Erotik
As I crawl out the trenches, find my way through a self-inflicted writer's block, I have started to read, and watch, and listen to poetry again. I have stepped away from my desire to write and allow myself to experience the joy that is the written and spoken word. Someone I have recently come...
Nokia E75 Launch in SA
I've been underground for last couple of months so I didn't score an invite to the launch of the Nokia E75. They were nice enough to send me a video of said launch though :-). Expanding my horizons with this blog and exploring a lot more than just my ramblings and poetry so decided to share it...

ramblings – is there such a thing as an anti-expert?
Image by Siphiwe Mhlambi I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I am not an expert. I know a bit about a lot of things and a lot more about a couple of things but there is nothing that I know inside out. I love music, but I can’t quote you dates, and albums, and lyrics, and whatever. I can...
