This is a powerful site. Amazing to think that there is so much talent in such a small corner of the world. Yet, look at the fynbos, and one sees the beauty that is there – this is the beauty reflected in your writing. It’s earthy, profound and stimulating. May there be many, many more essays, poems and commentaries from you all. I shall definitely return to read more.

is a place where
squalling winds herd ocean birds shorewards.
hard rains infuse summer-dry soil
Orchids cling to water -furrowed misty cliffs
slopes thick with Proteas run to the sea
dormant seeds ant-drawn into earth chambers
sprout among blackened fire-tufts
cicarda nymphs molt on wiry stemmed Restios
Springs open petals tincture valleys warm with light
the archaic hail of trumpeting Ericas
pay homage to the mountains
great ancestors of Gondwanaland
in who’s leached acid ground
the fynbos Kingdom flourishes
