CHEROPO PAMUNOZEZA

Rukai zvinorukika, zvimwe kure moposhera;
Ndondai panenge pakafanira
Asi nguva zhinji rangararira
kuti chero ndangariro chaidzo
dzinodembawo chose kurangarirwa;

ndosaka muchivanzwa vapfana vemazuvano
vane minwe isiteti waya dzemagitare
vachiikwetsurayo inokudubura ndangariro
dzoerekana dzarara mudota nemusana
asi padzinomuka dzinozunguzika nemanyawi
ekuziva kuti dzazivikanwawo...

Imika, ndiyani asingadiwo
Uyu MaDube kana MaSibanda wangu
kana kunzi hechino chikara changu
chikungurusamabwe changu chine mbabvu dzesimbi?
Kana aripo, ndiudzei ndimukoke kuno.

REGAI ARIKO

Ipo pano ndipo pototobatirira,
nekuti tikairega ichipudzunuka
inofa kwedu.

Makati ndiyani wenyu zviya?
Sekuru vekwasekuru; rimwe zuva

Kuti timuti sva-a, zvikanzi

Nhasi zvaava ikoko
totoramba takati naye name-name
ndiko kuti titonombora rinopisa pano.

MUSAUKANGANWA

Chakanikira mutauro ndechichi:

Kune vanokanda mavhinga
vachiedza kutosvora maziso acho ChiShona,
asi kutambisa mativi anovhunga mhepo.

Kune vanojatuka, voti mha
vokunguruka.
Vatarisei.
Vachati kwaku
Tomhozve
kana vabvuraudzwa
nehope dzine meno

PATICHAENDA KWAOLIVER MTUKUDZI

Kuri kare, tichiri kwedu
Taiti rugare rwuri kutiendesa kwaTuku,
Asi tiri kuendeswa nenhamo, zvishuwo
zvekunoona zvinotiswededza nekumba
pasina kana hapo chatinodokwairira kumushako.
Vamwe vedu tichatochema, tigovigayo misodzi
mutsoka dzinenga dzichibvukuta kapeti yemuYoshi.

Titova kutaura izvozvi, tichikokana
isu zvigeven'a zvapfakama musango kwemakore;
tiri kuzuwa hedu, tichiudzana kuchanangwa.
Ndiko kwatichanoona, tomboshainirana
asi mudzihana dikita richivaka mapopoma
Kushaya pekumira, kushaya pekutangira
Kusaziva kunobviwa, kusatarisira kungangoendwa
Asi tichabvukuta pasi pakabva chiri kumeso!

EHE, HAMENO

Saka dai ndakaramba ndinewe, Dudzai
Tingadaika takaroorana?

Ehe.

Hezvo! Saka wanga uchandiudza riinhi
Muwanano iyoyo, kuti wanga usina
Kumbogara zvako wakandida?
Wanga uchandiudza riinhi
nezvegandanga rako, iro randinonzwa
Kuti ranga ratakupa rin'i nerweseri?

Hameno.

Hezvo!
Zvanga zvambofamba seiko?
Asi wanga waona twumarubvurubvutwo
Twataipiwawo pedu paUZ paya
Ukari ndazviwanira yangu mbozha?
Ko zvawaingondiziva wani nhai Dudzai.

HATIRIKANGANWI ZUVARO

Ndiyani angakanganwa izvozvo:
Mitumba yevarume ichizhaka ivhu,
padivi twusikana tuchimveya nekuchohonya pasi
huruva ichipfumbuka, kunge yaidawo kuona
zvikara zvemaoko zvaivanga ngoma.

Anga asvika maZiyoni ekwaMutendi mudunhu;
nesuwo tanga takasungwa mbiradzakondo nemhasa
takati kwaku dande tananga kwayabhon'a ngoma
ndokuwana haikona, hapaidanwa ainzwa.

Hapana angarikanganwa zuvaro
rakakoromokera ruwa rwese kwaRungeya
rwuchiuya kuzoonacho changa chati vhu-u.
Parakandodoka vazhinji vanga vapfakama
mudariro renhendeuko, nekuti yanga yauya

shanduko dunhu rakadekara; changa chauya
chitsva changa chisiri murutsoka
chaivhutumusa hana kana dzesimbi
yanga yasvika nguva yekucheuka
nekuonacho changa chati kobo
Tese tikatendeuka haikona!

HAVANA KUFA

Nezuro pane akati pamwe
vadzimu vakafa, hanzi chero tikasweroimba
nekushamatata, kusveroridira pasi
kwaa kuungudza kuti vatinzwe
hanzi hapana chichiripo
nekuti mweya yevatinodana
yakatsakatikawo,kukangosarawo
makuva anoshama n'ai.

Aiwazve, musadaro vehama;
kuoma kuoma hako kwezvinhu
zvichemo zvichiswerova mamvemve
zvisati zvabuda muhana, asi
mapako ataisimboona zvemando zvipoko
azere nevanotiringa
vachikwengana nezvinotivhiringa
kusvikira zuva richadzutuka Kariba.
