Sebastian is trying to write his very first cookbook. He finds himself in a small village in the Karoo, a semi desert in South Africa. A sprained ankle and a big appetite bags him an invitation to an Indian lunch. But is it tasty?

When one chapter ends, another begins. Such is life for everyone, including the New Pirate King and his unique crew. Let's find out what else fate has left in store for them, shall we?

[Poetry Winner The Shortys 2024] Whispers of the Karoo is an acrostic poem that spells out its title vertically. It paints a vivid picture of South Africa's Karoo region, depicting its vast, arid landscape and the mysterious sounds that emanate from it. The poem weaves together themes of ancient history, hidden secrets, and the surprising vibrancy of a seemingly desolate place. It captures cultural references such as to the gumba-gumba sound and the idea of a landscape that is anything but silent.

Clay's mother knows what it feels like to be ostracised for being different - she's a witch, after all. That's why she moved them to Hekserij, a small town in the Karoo desert with a history of harbouring women accused of witchcraft. When Clay comes out as gay, he expects a bigger reaction from the isolated community. Instead of fear or anger, he receives only polite disinterest - and terrifying nightmares. Clay knows there is a link between all of these things (there are no coincidences when your mother is a powerful being from another realm) - but he may not like the answers he finds.

[The Shortys Long List 2024 - Poetry] The Earth's Lament is a lyric poem where the Earth speaks about its ancient memories and experiences. Using personification, the Earth describes its rugged landscape and historical events. The poem has vivid imagery and a reflective, melancholic tone, recounting battles and human activities like gold mining.

In the vast expanse of South Africa's Karoo, where the earth meets an endless sky, Aria finds herself at the edge of her known world. Seeking refuge from the relentless noise of city life, she instead discovers a landscape alive with hidden rhythms and ancient whispers. Guided by Petrus, an enigmatic old man whose face is etched with the land's history, Aria witnesses the Karoo's secrets unfold under a canopy of stars. As night deepens, spectral dancers emerge, and visions of past lives flicker across the timeless plains. The earth pulses with a 'gumba-gumba' beat, a primal song that resonates in Aria's very bones. By dawn, Aria emerges transformed. The silence she sought reveals itself as a profound symphony of the land's enduring spirit. In the Karoo's red dust and under its vast sky, she finds not emptiness, but a connection to something far greater than herself. It's a tale of awakening, where the land itself becomes both teacher and sanctuary, reminding us that in the heart of silence, the cosmos sings its eternal song.

This piece is a nostalgic reflection in the form of prose poetry, is on various moments and experiences that have shaped the narrator's life. From the rhythmic clacking of steam trains and the sight of farm boys in the Karoo, to the joy of new births and the warmth of a lover's gaze, each memory is vividly recalled. The narrative captures the essence of simple pleasures, profound connections, and the beauty of life's fleeting moments. It emphasises the importance of being present and attentive to the small, yet significant, experiences that enrich our lives.
