BUTLER FAMILY WEBSITEAbout
Family of Names
Uncanny each name
Coincidentally woven together,
When Butler is entrusted
To serve wine in all weather.
It is Henry who will rule,
His home with all might,
Anointing Riaan the little king
In his own true right.
Whereas Ann brings balance
Being ever so gracious,
Elize upholds God’s oath
No matter how audacious.
The defender is Devon
Who boldly all alone,
Also known as Peter,
Portrays the strength of stone.
Our castle belongs to Rory
The red king of old,
Whose bright mind and spirit
Makes Hugh ever so bold.

Dedicated to my personal poetry: Poetry to me is a means of expressing emotional thoughts. This is a minor pastime which gives me great pleasure and promotes relaxation. My anthologies are always purely just work-in-progress... |

This prize was awarded on the 15th June 2006 for the poem "Hail Caesarian" written upon the birth of my youngest son Rory.

Although I received a "Second Prize" from "The Poetry Institute of Africa", the award has certainly motivated and encouraged me to continue my pastime of writing poetry.
