Buqqui:
SOMEONE TO CALL MY OWN


I wish there was a soul,
Whose words keep me aglow.
Someone to call My own,
When others keep away.


Going through life alone is burdensome,
In bed alone is worrisome,
Aloneness can be cumbersome,
With none to share the sum.


All day I look and search,
All night I sigh and sleep.
The watch and wait seems endless,
Where is the one that makes me whole?

I love this piece, quite evocative

I find the rule of the latest poetry assignment to be ridiculous.


I am talking about the rule that a child's poem must start with "in a far away land" or "once upon a time". These two starting lines are the most cliche and cheesy lines one could use in 2015.

I even tried starting a poem but felt foolish and had writer's block after writing the first line "in a far away land". Even funnier, is the fact that I was writing about a story set on the sea. grin Land > SEA



No offense meant...........

A CRY FROM BAKASSI

I am called a Child from the Gutter
Because in my Clan our Wallets stutter
Jubilation is absent when my people gather
Because hopes and aspirations have gone asunder

In my Clan survival belongs to the fittest
If you cannot contend then you take a rest
For if the bird does not leave its nest
The hunter cannot make an arrest

Pity Patter Pity patter! Here comes the rain
Each of us, Bowls in hands taking bail
Flooded homes, our possessions on the sail
Patched roofs, blocked drainages, our efforts in vain

Rain! Sun! Harmattan! We go no where
For after the rain we know the sun will appear
To dry up and bring back that which we hold dear
Our land, our home, we are going no where

In Rain and in Shine we endure this pain
Of Diseases and Sicknesses our Children are slain
Living with Crabs and Frogs in full disdain
Waiting for Government to no avail

Like the Bat we are neither here nor there
For Our brothers have sold us for a plate of Pottage
Our buyers see us as excess Baggage
Oh Bakassi! My Bakassi when will the day break?

SELF RELIANCE

Teach me how to fish
Give me no more fish
So I can enjoy and relish
From my own pond of Fish

I want to be free
Like leaves on Trees
Owing no man no fees
Because I was born free

I do not want to beg
Before I eat an egg
I want my farm to tend
So for my own I can fend

For now that I am young
And the carefree world I belong
But I dread to wallow too long
Before you leave for the great beyond

So teach me today
How my nest to lay
So when I come of age
I will have no war to wage

To pierce the walls of the Edenic centuries

Depriving darkness its blindness

Lightening the candles of my father's fathers

If not for you

Peace to my piece....written by 'ONYEMA COURAGE' comments and critics please? Love you starz!

Phew! dont know how to write poem oooo. well lemne give it a try...
----------------------------

I WISH I HAD MORE

I wish! I wish!! I wish!!!
I wish I had more of Tex,
‘cause life without Tex
Like a lonely goat
Would be a big bore.


I wish I had more smile,
On your lips forever, while
At all times, high or
Low and every moment you
Would ever know

I wish I had more,
‘cause Cisse without Tex
Like a blind horse
Would be a big snore.

I wish I’d had more,
‘cause with my Tex,
Like a hairy rug
I cover the floor.

I wish I had more,
But when I sit down to love you,
To be every ray of sun,
With which your every
Day had begun
My Behind gets sore.


I wish I had more,
‘cause if I don’t have you,
Like unfed horse,
You will hear me snore.

I wish I had more.
My Tex is missing,
As the honesty is missed
I’m going to get sore.

I wish I had more.
Of your love, oh Tex,
like a cockatoo
It’s my favorite chore.

I wish I had more.
That’s why I scream as I
Run like a chased robber
Out of Nigeria looking for Tex.

I wish, Tex, I had more
Like Harry Potter
A magic wand
To make all my wishes
Come true.

What more can I say? Thumb up!

But, u and everestdebliu really forgot a brother.

THE AGONY OF THE INNOCENT


Here i am languishing in this cell of mischief,
Staring at emptiness...drowning in a sea of grief,
I came to these country to make end meet, survival of the fittest is what it is,
with my hands i worked, for every cent gained...an intense body pain.



An horse pistol was found in my crib...like a compass it leads me to an unbearable ring,
The court was filled to a brim....my fall their glorious glee,
with every gavel been hit...my fate was gradually sealed,
The judge pronounced my fate....I was guilty so he said.


Here i am now...with tears flowing like raindrop from a pine,
Justice i seek, vengeance shall be mine,
A murderer was i called, now a murderer i shall be,
And when i get the enemy that plotted this against me,
I shall leave a trace of evidence deep within him.
