Good day friends, you are welcome another edition of ‘LITERATURE & POETIC Moments’ on EDESON NEWS NETWORK.

This evening, I have a Touching POEM written by my friend, her name is Adaugo Queen, she is a student and resides in Lagos State. She is a talented writer and ambitious young lady. She is the girl pictured in this write-up you are reading. I have featured her articles and literary works on my website several times.

It may interest you to know that I have officially employed her as a GUEST WRITER on my website/blog. As from today, you will be reading her poems and articles on my website.

Well, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, let’s start by knowing the meaning of a POEM.
A Poem can be describe as a literary composition characterized by the presence of imagination, emotion, truth, sense of impression and concrete language expressed rhythmically.

AND NOW, Here is a Poem written by ADAUGO QUEEN.

In poetry, we have what is called STANZA. A poem is usually written in divisions known as Stanzas. The division could contain two or more lines.

The POEM written by ADAUGO QUEEN has 5 stanzas.

The title of the poem is:

“THE BASTARD”

A young teenager
has been deceived
regretting a new being was born.
Walking alone down a lonely path
Sweet sorrow surrounds Sonia,
crying in pain the new being.

How I long for you to hold me
to taste the natural milk
planted in you...
Ignorance is a diseases
young teenager who lacks
the tender heart of a mother

Tarried for two days
no food, no shelter.
oh! Lonely Bastard
I looked up above the sky
father in heaven save me.

A sound came with a bark
it was a scary creature
smelt my presence,
licked my exposed abdomen
nervous and frightened
is death drawing near?

Gathered by unknown faces
under a roof with warm bath
relieved I found a home
with no mother.
Hoping to get some fresh milk
glad I found a home,
lonely bastard.

THE END.
