'letter She Wrote'. A Must Read Poem! by EJanni(f): 6:17pm On Sep 30, 2014 |
with a heart as heavy as rock And deep like nostalgic abyss I write to you my laggard love Do you remember that day? You took that oath of commitment. That day you were let loose by your fosters. To cling to your household. After all struggles and hold backs As you bragged to have learnt How to marry and parent well. But so egacious it be now That you'er no near to the task Since the day of your vow till date This union has been in callow See your chldren gulp wine of power. And staggar in avarice like a drunken urchin in the street. Junta,partition and succession ambushed them and knocked them off balance. Oh wazobia! my love Ignorance and depravity have taken a heavy toll on them, our traitorous and indolent children Their heritage abused like a Maid servant in a LovePeddler house Now the virile advocates for neo- colonialsm. No initiative except that might cow all try to milk down. Your kinsmen that run to you for Solace have all woken from sleep And now your chldren run to To them for asylum like a Lord in A vassal's hut. Annually our union festival we Feast. With little or nothing to Show for it. We've grown but yet In callow. Yet to realize our oath Of commitment. Wazobia! Am no bare in shame desert. Wazobia! Oh my ageless love Ladies delight oh pigrims favorite You who have all it takes to be a Man. Wake up and chastise your Children. Before the ocean of Mediocrity drowns them up. Or should we go back to them? I mean our fosters that joined us Never! I heared you shout Then arise and exorcise this slumbery. For with this our legs as thin as That of a sickly mosquito Even in centenary we would be no Near to a mileage. 2 Likes 1 Share |

EJanni: with a heart as heavy as rockyou wrote well. Just a little advice, work on imagery. And next time, make it rhyme at the coupling end. Romantic poems 'taste' better when rhymed. Aside that, it was worth reading. I wrote a poem to "green' today as Nigeria's independence day. You can read it by checking my profile. Well done dear. |

I respect poets for one reason,they do the one thing I don't know how to do. I write though rather scantily these days on almost a wide range of subjects. As poems go though,I think you did ok. My all time favorite has got to be Rudyard Kiplings' "If". It may not relate to you seeing as it talks about the expected behavior of a man especially as regards various aspects of life,but it does make for nice perusal. By the way,I'd like if you could follow back,you seem like a smart person,here's me hoping I'm not wrong.... Auf Wiedersehen! |
