My Little Collections (an Anthology) by ayozainy(f): 2:34pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
[/color][b][/b] Hi, I need your opinions, analysis and corrections on my poem. I am a young poet (just started writing recently) NO TITLE This is a story untold It is a beauty to behold It all started in the beginning What a sight to imagine A look at the cloud It makes a person proud To be part of the creation Created by the only creator Take a glimpse at the sun It beams and smiles in fun It makes way for the moon What a shift without a moan A trip to the ocean Makes one wonder with passion The depth of the waters A splash makes one sober The earth witnessed a splash It happened in a flash The soldier ants begin to drain What a special day to rain The beauty of the rainbow Makes me think of colours As little as the star It is bigger than the earth A wonderful thing to say It all ends one day The beauty of the world will fade The defaulters will be put to shame |

[color=#990000][/color] Dedicated to: MYLES MUNROE & HIS WIFE (I met him last year at a program organised by L.E.A.R.N. in LTV Blue Roof, Ikeja). You may be dead but your Legacy will live on forever. RIP. THE UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE The sound cuts across the globe It awakes the world to be bold What an amazing fact to be told The controversial music unfolds Silence pierces through the heart Such a sigh like the sound of bat The beautiful faces full of scar It is the mark of ancient mistake Hymns are flowing in the air The whole stage is finally set The body is laid to rest In the final place of abode A loud shrew cry is heard From a land not too far away The weakness of femining gender Has reared it's face again The living are left to wonder If it was worth all the bother A little piece of paper Makes one free of hunger The giant is left to wander In his tiny new apartment To face the inevitable panel A judgement without appeal |

Dedicated to All African Women AN AFRICAN WOMAN She walks with head high Legs moving gracefully Hips swaying left and right Her nails as fresh as ever Her smile lights the world Her teeth as white as snow Her face as smooth as silk Her skin is like the ebony woods Her hair so black and curly She sits in style She dresses gorgeously She is admired by all and sundry She is called the feminine beauty She watches with kin interest Hands moving from plate to mouth One coughs, she rushes to get water She watches over them like a mother hen She is so over protective She sleeps hungrily They sleep joyfully She abhors all insults She bears all injury Just to protect the one she loves She is a mother indeed She is the proverbial virtuous woman She is known as a woman of substance 1 Like |

THE BEAUTY OF DUSK The peaceful silence of the evening Sends a cold chill down my spine The trees fluttering and dancing To the amorour songs of the pestle Sonorous voices of lovers chanting Makes the old wish to find love again The birds chirps into the conversation Beneath the beautiful village orchard The moon beaming at its fullest Sends its powerful rays down to earth The children giggles, the old yawns It is time to tell a tale The river finally takes a nap A relief after the hard day's work Mamas grab their kids by the hand It is time to sleep says the clock. The wind revives its action Scattering plates, the doors jamming All hide under the cozy of their blankets It makes it the perfect night 1 Like |

Dedicated to the Worlds Special THE WORLDS SPECIAL We are the world's most special We move around with an amazing vibe We are the trail blazers We are the worlds most awesome We may be blind But we are not myopic We are the worlds most fantastic We may be lame But we have gone around the world We are the worldsmost talented We may be dumb But our hands speaks volume We are the worlds most attentive We may be deaf but we can hear, The perfect silence of the world. We are the worlds most healthy We might be down with down syndrome But we are not the cause of the worlds problem We are the worlds most contented We may be people with special needs But we are not a problem child We are the worlds most intelligent We are the best of communicators We have the world's best language We are the worlds most creative We are the best of artists We are the best of scientists We don't fancy your pity Accept us just the way we are We are like you, but a very special kind. |

UNTITLED It has happened again Mother earth has awoken To the cry of its inhabitant A terrible disaster unforcasted Tears flowing like a river Boundless like the atlantic The fire still unquenched Heavens gate is receiving A sweet, joyful night Has turned into a nightmare The voice of kids singing, The echo alone we hear. Suddeny, it all vanished Like the wind in the summer The song we now sing The title we cannot tell The land has lost its joy The leaders of the future, is history yet untold Is there hope for tomorrow? 1 Like 1 Share |

I cant believe that I was banned but thank God, the ban has been lifted FREE VERSE BAD IMITATION The offensive display of wealth By the country's so called finest, The big boys and big girls Has become second nature to some A competition on the media Is their everyday routine Who wore it the best? Is the question on most lips The latest are on them They are the indecent dressers The borrowers of other cultures Liars who market bloody lie Showing off what is meant to be hidden Is the style of the female counterparts The so called role models Have become harlots of fashion They live in the G.R.A's In houses known as mansions With countless number of rooms While they sleep in just one Their garage is like a car park Ranging from different shapes and sizes The wasteful spenders, extravagant fools The heavy drinkers, the womanizers A little act of kindness Is accompanied by some snapshots It is carried on the dailies An action with a weak intention They live a flamboyant life While thousands are out there With no place to lay their head With no food to eat, no hope of education Only the unwise of men Parades his wealth in front of the poor Who has none to compete with. He goes around minding his business. Givers they say never lack The little you give will help, In changing the fortune of others Forgo selfishness and embrace kindness. 1 Like |

I just want to be free FREE/BLANK VERSE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY The actions of some Leaves others to mourn Human is meant to be humane Many are animals in human form. They claim to be jihadists Fighting for what cause? Killing your fellow human Makes you a living demon The ignitors of war What do you stand to gain? Making millions homeless, You leave so many in pain Kidnapping your fellow human Demanding for a ransome Why dont you think twice? It could have been you. The ritualists, assassins, murderers Do you have a heart at all? The world does not end today Remember the essence of creation. Gathering wealth and more wealth What does that make you? A ruthless, oppressive capitalists You would leave without a pin You strike without thinking twice Fighting for power you dont deserve Your heart as hard as rock You lack the feeling of humanity Do you find joy in others sadness? People are killed by the moment Bombed, shot, maimed, massacred These are all your actions Many are shedding bloody tears Have that pure conscience You are no god to ignite fear You are human with a flesh Keep at the back of your mind That the world will one day seize You would live all you love behind And face the greatest being. 2 Likes |

A SONNET BY MOI Every morning begins with a journey Man, animals, nature and all that rise Our motive for struggling is for money I just wonder what else in our heart lies The wisdom to think has been left to sleep We rush and seek out for what is not lost Our purpose for living has long being freed The sound of prayer is ignored like frost The clock goes tick, tock by the passing hour Man ignores, avoid the gift of letter The brain just snobs the being with the power He that says yes to prayers, our Father Let all creations learn to worship Him I wonder if nature can watch a film? |

NO TITLE The world looks at her with hue They say she she stinks and frowns She does not fit in to the society They say she is ugly and arrogant They say she doesnt fit in to d society She is a shame to those who had her She is rejected wherever she goes They spit on her with the back of their tongue They chase her whenever she is sighted She is called an abomination by those she loves She is cursed wherever she goes She looks at them with face pale She stares at them with a blank heart She tries to show emotion, but her face is still She looks at d mirror and stares She doesnt know who appears She changes position, tilts head She stares at her image She is no different from those who chastise her She doesnt lack a thing She was the once radiant and proud woman Who stands in d middle of d road and thousands stares. She says a word, billions listen She snaps her finger, millions run towards her She eats and thousands run to pick the crumbs She was once the pride of her family What suddenly happened? She lost focus, she lost direction She bit the hands of those who fed her Her children are weeping Some are dying, other homeless She had it all at her disposal She wasted it all extravagantly She calls her children, none answered What happened to those who previously did? They all paid for the crime they never committed They were sent on a long journey By animals in human form They were slaughtered, raped, bombed The few who escaped, ran to her sister They joined the jeering croud to mock her She stands in the middle of the ocean With no friend, no family, none to call her own She screams, no one hears She regretted her actions and sort to make amends It came too late The head is now below the water.[color=#990000][/color] |

I promised myself that I'll always post whatever poem I write here. Most times I write two poems a day, it depends on my mood though and my source of inspiration. Most of my poems are without titles, any suggestions will be appreciated. Slowly their legs moves Their bottom just grooves to the bata beats seductive eyes stares at the bosom bare the ancient rhythm by the ayan within, nature joins the dance the damsel giggles the end of being single as the shinning star in the clouds so far he sights her afar their eyes lock by chance he gave her that face the period of joy she knows no boy that was what she said is she a saint? Time only can say the elder at home walks away alone fuming and cursing the young chic moaning His face is beaming From white to danger shows the wrapper the frenzy drumming sends them dancing the feast is just starting.
