Author Description

Isipho-the gift of words.. Started with scribbled messages to friends and families, greeting notes and a desire to share my mundane daily experiences of life. With nobody but myself to share and relate the happenings of my day; I put my thoughts into pen and paper. To my surprise it fulfilled the need to talk to someone. Soon I had a collection greeting notes, thank you cards and rhyming verses. The poems come very easy to my mind, I do not have to be inspired by anything. I just write and write. The love of the spoken words.. Is a seed planted by my late mother. Even though illiterate it was of great concern to her for her children to be able to read and write. The seed that germinated into the poet that I am. Poetry in its artistic form.. I started writing at the age of 60, writing poems for Sunday school children. Tapping deeper into the gift, my subjects developed into meaningful words. Spoken words. Umlayezo-the message... These additional poems are a conscious unguarded communication of my heart to my soul. The gift of words coming of age so to speak. The poems have English subheadings. This is Cynthia's second published work.
