17 young chosen poets
pay tributes to Guyana
and as I listened
I thought how heartfelt
their words were
to their countrymen
and all those present that night.
The Castellan House stood regal
in the dark
How magnificent the 19th-century structure was
With leaves that whispered surrounding
there were the secrets I was sure.
The land of many waters has
poets with a hundred thousand words
in their hearts and minds
Listen, the whispers run deep
in those waters that make up
this colourful land.
Listen to Guyana's Voice.
