Now I see
Life in abundance.
Through you, I am so blessed,
Destiny’s guide, my soul-mate, clear as
Crystal!

This form of poem is called a SIDLAK – Thank you Quirky for sharing with us.
Its structure comprises syllables of 3/5/7/9/ with the last line being a colour to give you a total of five lines.
The last line must be a COLOUR that describes the whole poem or the feelings of the writer. Life comes in different shades and hues. The colourful the merrier. Try it out with your true colours.
This is a special dedication to my dear friend Christel whom I met 3 years ago on a Jazz train in Switzerland and from the pavement in GStaad, she has been an inextricable part of my life ever since. Christel,you see me as no one else can – in my true colours. With lots of love – Chevvy

wonderful form of poetry. very nice poem.

It’s Zulu. English is our first official language and Zulu is the biggest after that as part of our 11 official languages:-)

It is a beautiful song done by a number of artists but my friend had liked a previous Viktor Lazlow song I had posted,so I though she’d love this since she speaks French and indeed she did love the poem and the song. In case you’d like to listen to another beautiful song of hers which makes me long to visit Paris again – listen to Syracus:
