POEM TO STUDY FOR THE WEEK (African Poem)

NIGHT - Wole Soyinka

The Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka is one of the greatest poets, who uses complicated dictions and metaphors to pass across his message. Thereby, to study him attention must be paid to every word and punctuation mark.


Your hand is heavy, Night, upon my brow,
I bear no heart mercuric like the clouds, to dare
Exacerbation from your subtle plough.

Woman as a clam, on the sea's crescent
I saw your jealous eye quench the sea's
Fluorescent, dance on the pulse incessant

Of the waves. And I stood, drained
Submitting like the sands, blood and brine
Coursing to the roots. Night, you rained

Serrated shadows through dank leaves
Till, bathed in warm suffusion of your dappled cells
Sensations pained me, faceless, silent as night thieves.

Hide me now, when night children haunt the earth
I must hear none! These misted calls will yet
Undo me; naked, unbidden, at Night's muted birth
Wole Soyinka -Night

Every member must come up with his/her own analysis that will be discussed and juxtaposed among other members, then one analysis will be agreed upon.

Thanks

funny enough.... I know who did that art work.... in yabatech right?

OMA4U:


Confirm! I have always had an inkling that someone will know this.

Who did it?

Darkrebel:


one of their old student..he did it as his final project... I have met him before but I can't remember his name now.... I like this particular one. .. a slave behind bars with no hope .. I even drew it and shaded too ...

its a very good art work ... let's see what the poets here will write about it

Darkrebel:
